	So what?  Are you running more than one program at a time
or something?  Proterm takes that extra memory, whatever it can
legally grab actually, and uses it as scrollback buffer.  If this
is a problem, you have to make sure your other programs use the
memory manager to properly allocate memory before launching Proterm.
It is an 8-bit application, and hence isn't *that* smart in memory.
