William,

You are generally correct, but mistaken as it applies to Photoshop.
Within PS7's memory allocation preference panel in OSX you can specify
what percentage of system memory to allow photoshop to _synamically
allocate_ to itself. This is a very very important setting - without
it photoshop might dynamically allocate nearly all of system ram to
itself if you were working on huge files, throttling the performance
of other items in your system.

My advice, rather than looking through manuals for programs other than
PS - check out the program we're actually talking about :)

No I�m not wrong.  Memory cannot be allocated in PS/OSX.  In your 
preference panel in PS
memory is not allocated, it is made available, there is a difference, 
as you the expert should know.
As for other programs, PS would have a difficult time working without 
an operating system.  It would stand to reason to understand the 
relationship between the two.  With or without the advice of the 
creators of the program/system.
Your snide remark re: advice - was of course without merit and taken 
with a good laugh young man.
This will be my last transmission so you can have the last word.

Cheers.
William
