I know this is simple, but I can't find it anywhere. 

1) How can I find out what the System Heap numbers in the boot blocks are
   set for?

2) How can I change these numbers?

3) What should the numbers be for system release 5.0?

The reason I ask is that I believe most of the glitchies I've seen since
the upgrade to system 5.0 and multifinder are system heap exhaustion
problems. I read somewhere that the heap grew again (implying that the boot
block numbers got bigger) for Multifinder. But I can't find any program that
reads the blocks or writes the blocks or any documentation on what they
should be. 

Anyone want to point me in the right direction? And why isn't this
documented anywhere by Apple? And why isn't there an Apple utility to muck
with them? It seems to me this is a glaring hole in the system
configuration....
