This post is in reply to (More info needed) on my previous post about 
swapinfo showing that swapspace doesn't decrease.  Following shows me 
logging in and then starting X then running Netscape and closing it the 
normal way <FILE>-<EXIT>, then back out and getting 
ready to logout.

The double row of stars indicate a new run of ps/swapinfo
