I am going to show you my ignorance now and ask in more detail how you Start Phex as you described ... I must admit I did not think you could or needed to allocate memory in this way on a Mac, but something I saw on the Apple site proved me wrong.

No probs, I started that way, too

To start Phex that way, you need to open the "Terminal" and navigate to the Phex Program (

Code:

"cd <foldername>"

gets you into a folder. Pressing tab lets the system do autocompletion,

Code:

"cd <Phex.app"

gets you into the Phex.app bundle).

Then you need to enter the Folder "Resources" in Phex.app, therein the folder "Java". In there you can then use the code:

Code:

"java -Xmx256m -jar phex.jar"

, which will start Phex with more heap-space.

I hope I got everything right.... it's a long time since I last used MacOSX
