Hi, Pat-
 
Good to see you posting.  "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" is one of the funniest VMS stories I've ever heard, and I've heard some Real Funny Ones at "Magic Night" at the last two bootcamps.

I'm currently using f$getsiy("free_pages") but was
wondering if I could use the MONITOR tool to record a
works worth of data.   What command would I use in
that case?

Thanks,

There's a free product from HP called T4.   And if you ask for it, there's a memory monitoring and collection bit that they'll send you (Thanks for writing it, Bart!)
