[developers] Memory problems in LOGON batch mode but not interactive mode?

[Eric Nichols]

Greetings,

Sorry to reply to my own mail, but I think I have found the source of  
my problem. After replacing all values of :wait in the LOGON branch to  
3000, my files successfully loaded. I am not sure exactly which  
setting was causing my system to time out, but could I request that we  
consider a higher value for loading large transfer grammars?
