In Windows, memory management is handled by the OS. When manipulating large expressions, it may help to suppress the output with a semicolon. Many expressions take much more memory to display in the front end than to hold in the kernel. -Dale Tatyana Polenova wrote in message <6vf4c4$den at smc.vnet.net>... >Hi, >I am running Mathematica 3.0.1 on a PC (Windows 95).
