Orf and Tom,

You can not recover all the RAM that a program uses. A certain amount
(varies with program) will not be returned - no matter what you do or what
RAM optimizer you have. So if you are opening and closing many programs
during one session, it may be that the only way to get back to near the the
RAM that you first started with, when you first booted, is to reboot!
