- When you load the workbench, instead of the normal loadwb command try doing
- a "loadwb -debug" -- this gives you an extra set of invisible menus but if
- you point to it with the mouse you see the items "flushlibs" and "debug".
- Choosing the flushlibs several times, frees up some memory.

- NOTE: This is on a 1.3 system. I'm not so sure if 2.xx has it :(
