If your program doesn't load up any system libraries or anything which isn't deallocated when the program terminates, then there's nothing for avail flush to flush. The memory your program uses is returned to the system automatically when you close it. Try running programs that use shared libraries, like MultiView etc., and it should work. All it does is remove stuff from memory which isn't currently being used by any programs. Jeremy jeremyn@injersey.com
