One command I miss from my old Unix days is the ability to
add swap dynamically. That is swap to a file. Some of the
Unix's have a swap command and you can name a file and the
size you wish and swap will start using it.

I did a man on swap but nothing came back!

man mkswap
man swapon
man swapoff

HTH...

Thank you, that was just what I wanted and quite helpful.
