[Coco] OS9 Process space questions

[Bob Devries]

OS9 assigns to the programme as much memory as is indicated in the module 
header. Of course, memory can only be switched in 8k chunks. If you use the 
PMAP command, you will see the map of the memory usage for each module 
currently in use. The $3E in the map is an indicator of a non-existent 
block, I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
