If either overflows during a session, a self explanatory error +message is given. The sizes of both areas may changed by the user if +required. Any change made is remembered thereafter and for subsequent +sessions until countermanded. + +The heap contains almost all the data structures created both by the +Miranda compiler and the evaluation system. To compile and/or run very +large scripts you may need a bigger heap. To find out (change) the +current size of the heap say + /heap (or /heap newsize e.g. /heap 2000000 ) + +The heap size may also be altered by using a flag (see below). You +should be aware that running Miranda processes with a very large heap +may give you slower responses. + +The dictionary is used to store identifiers and file names by the +Miranda compiler. It is unlikely that you will need to change the size +of the dictionary.
