   On a related note, does anyone know if there's an easy way to identify the 
"activate areas" of balloon help?  Is it plainly visible from within ResEdit?
(The only sys7-aware thing I run presently is the finder, and ResEdit won't let
you edit that while it's running...)

   Also, after having searched the "About this Macintosh..." display, I can't
find anything of interest here.  Unless you're talking about getting a integer
value of the RAM a given application uses, rather than the standard bargraph..
