This has been an educational experience. I thank you so much!!

So, if I understand you correctly, my app by default has it's own HM built in via the runtime library. Wow. This whole thing has been behind-the-scenes magic to me and what actually happens when new is used.

So the HM in my app should know how much memory is on my computer? If one were to write a memory checking program, you could in therory allocate all the memory on a computer to write and read data for checking purposes. I always wondered how that was done.

This is all starting to come together for me.
