Google it--there seems to be a lot of websites saying how to do this. I won't link to a specific one because I don't know what your OS is.

Oh, whoops.
That's odd:

Dynamic Memory (RAM) Allocation and Management
Mac OS X is capable of dynamically (on the fly) dealing with RAM requests from applications. From the time an application is launched, Mac OS X handles all the memory the application needs. At launch an application will request Mac OS X to give it as much RAM as it require and the request is honored if the memory is available. If the application needs more memory as it is running to accomplish tasks Mac OS X will provide more. The opposite is also true. If an application is holding onto memory it no longer needs, Mac OS X can dynamically take it back and provide it to other applications if needed. The benefit to the user is the memory is efficiently managed resulting in a more stable better performing system. All a user needs to do is launch an application and let Mac OS X handle the rest.

It's prolly like Java: it's a VM that gets only so much memory allocated to it.

It is a VM. (Well, Squeak is, and that's what runs Scratch.)
