The "n/a" in the "Suggested" and "Application" Memory Size boxes is
normal if Versaterm was running under Multifinder at the time you did
the "Get Info".  I don't have version 4.0 but previous versions were
not configured properly right from the shrink wrap for running under
Multifinder; had to increase the "Application Memory Size" allotted to
account for MF overhead.  I suspect that after you re-installed and
did the "Get Info" Versaterm was NOT running and thus the memory sizes
appeared "normal".

Just increase the "Application Memory Size" and Versaterm should run
properly under MF.
