When I work in TMGW 4.0 for a long while my computer freezes and the only
way for me to exit is to do a CRL-ALT-DEL. Even then I get messages warning
of low memory. If I exit TMG every so often and then re-enter I don't have
this problem, but this is a pain and I sometimes get carried away and
forget to do it in time. This weekend I lost a half days work when my data
file was corrupted by exiting this way. I have a 133MH Pentium computer
with 64KB memory. When I go to TMG Help - About TMG - Memory when starting
TMG I find the following info:

Memory in Use by TMG 679264
EMS in Use by Foxpro 0
EMS limit in CONFIG.FPW 0
Conventional available 655360
Other available 33357792

Windows Resources:
System 74%
User 74%
GDI 81%

Is this what I should expect ? What number should I be watching to see if
it is time to exit the program ?
Why do I have to exit the program ?

Thanks for any answers, Dennis
