Leonard,

I believe that's OS 9.0. I'm currently running 8.6 on a 9600/300 with 384MB
RAM and List Open Files control strip module says I have 156 files open and
192 remaining.

Ron,

You might check your font situation. If there are a lot of fonts in your
System/Fonts folder, those fonts are active at all times. Also check your
font manager software, i.e. ATM. You'll get this message if too many fonts
are activated.

HTH,
