Now that makes perfect sense. If what we see as % of system resources free
is a percentage of the amount set aside for system resources rather than a
percentage of total available RAM, that works for me. It explains my
question perfectly. I will go read the article anyway, but it is clear now.
Thanks.

You will find a complete explanation at:

It's too lengthy to include here, but he concludes:
"Therefore, no matter how much RAM you fit, you are always going to be
hindered by the 64K and 2MB "resource limits".
Most of the relevant iformation is in the first three- four paragraphs.

What confuses me is that if, as others have said, system resources is a set
amount of RAM specifically for that, then the percentage of resources it
takes up should go down as the amount of RAM goes up.
