Heh, heh, it's all in the manual.. ;-) Seriously, all you have to do is
to edit the scriptfile which starts the prolog, because in it are the
sizes for the different stacks. BEWARE!! This beauty *eats* memory and 
running the prolog in a 1 Meg machine will not be easy. (In fact, I am not
sure if it is at all possible...) Also, the SBProlog haven't got a complete
GC mechanism, so "bad" programs will eat stack without returning memory.
Personally, I run the SBProlog in a 3 Meg machine, and need almost all memory
if I want to recompile prolog sources. As soon as I can, I'll get 8 Meg.. ;-)
