As a second followup... X without anything running (one Eterm and Top)
uses 40 megs of Ram on my system.  Running CSCMail causes X to use 43
megs of ram, and CSCMail takes up 15 megs.  Opening this second window
(the Compose Message window) boosts X to 45 megs of ram used, and CSCMail
is using 16megs ...
