A program I have been writing uses Pexec() to invoke other programs
while everything seems fine, and the system operates normally.  Whenever
I execute any program that stays resident, i.e. DISKBAR, or NITE, 
a memory hole is created when my program terminates.  Depending on what
has been loaded this can leave a substantial void.  Does anyone know
if there is anyway to, say load a program into the top of the TPA
and execute it up there.  So that when it exits, there won't be any holes?
