Heap and swap space.

I'm trying to get more of Ensemble applications to run on my OmniGo. Like
Text editor (Spelling and Thesaurus) and GeoTerm. GWSteve was good enough
to tell me that most Ensemble apps expected 2 megs of swap space, while
OmniGo apps expected to share 576K of heap space with no additional swap
space.

First of all, could someone please tell me a little bit more about heap and
swap space? I pretty much know what swap space is, and I assume that heap
space is the amount of conventional memory that GEOS uses?

I plan on keeping my flash card in my OG all the time, so I'd be more than
willing to have a 2 meg swap file on it. I assume that all I have to do is
tell GEOS to use a 2 meg of drive E: for swap. Before I go digging for the
information, can anyone tell me how to do this?
