Hugo,
The appropriate interface is via the word

     SET-MEMSIZE ( n -- )

which changes the allocation size in the system. However, due to the
way that Windows allocates memory for a running program, it will not
take effect until you first save a new .exe file and then run it.

To create an 8 megabyte dictionary,

    8 1024 * 1024 * SET-MEMSIZE
    PROGRAM BIG.EXE
    BYE

then run big.exe . This level of functionality should be more automated
via an options dialog within the next few months.

Hope this helps.
