This is perhaps a rather dumb question. I'm used to the Mac environment,
where due to instability I was wont to quit and application when I 
wasn't going to use it for a few hours. Now I use a NSTurbo with 
about four times the memory and totally different os as regards 
memory management and everything else - but out of habit
I still quit apps so that they won't be 'running" in the memory
somewhere, although I have memory to spare and of course the disk
swapping works much better than Mac vm ever worked. 

Is there a good reason to leave unused apps open? Aside from speed
in getting back to them? I know that if one opened and closed apps
on the Mac too much it played some strange tricks. But leaving them open 
also brought them all crashing down sometimes. 

Is there an app like the Mac info panel for the Next that lets us
see memory usage? A unix shell command that's interpretable by 
non-unix users?

Thanks
