Normally, control panels take up no memory when not open (open = you have its
window open). With a bit of work, any control panel can take up memory
permenantly. Things like AutoMenus, FontSel, CDAMouse, System 6's Sound and
others do.
 
DAs' and permanent inits' main program segment sits in memory. There are, btw,
temporary inits that are unloaded immediatly after running.
tif = temporary init file
pif = permenent init file, but can have the system unload it easily. Like, a
pif specific to ROM 3 can check for ROM 3 and have itself unloaded if ROM 3 is
not present
