OK thanks for all the responses on this.  I'd seen "top" considering
it's an analogue to the other *nix ones, and saw the Mem/swap usage at
the top of the display.

Anyway now that I've got a couple different sources of seeing the same
numbers here, I wonder if OBSD is seeing all of my RAM.  I have 32 MB in
there, but:

from top:
Memory: Real: 7192K/15M act/tot  Free: 11M  Swap: 4K/100M used/tot

and from systat vmstat:
          memory totals (in KB)
         real   virtual    free
Active   7280      7284   11396
All     15828     15832  113704


These numbers ~15 MB seem to imply that I'm only seeing around 1/2 of my
RAM (~16 MB).  Am I reading these displays incorrectly?  If I run
"machine memory" at the boot> prompt it does report back all 32 MB.
