Now, I have a rather simple task...but it seems impossible for a non-Apple
person to do given the scarcity of information regarding MF's internal
structures available.

What I want to do is have something similar to the Finder (6.0)'s about box
available as an application or DA.  Having the Finder running isn't always
desirable, but it's the only thing to do while you're trying to figure out
the "perfect" #s for the SIZE resource.

The question is, stated simply, How do I do it?

More specificly, how do I tell how much total memor exists in the system, how
much is allotted to what application, how much is free in ea. application's
heap and how much is available that's unused (which I guess would be
the MFFreeMem value.)

OK, can someone over there in Cupertino or someone close to there provide
some answers?  It would be most appreciated.
