Good idea... the memusage/memkbytes came because of laziness. (-:

I have prepared new code for p.y/l.l with the syntax,

IF MEM(ORY) <operator> <int|real> <unit|%> [<int>] <action>

IF CPU <operator> <int|real> % [<int>] <action>

IF CHILD(REN) <operator> <int> [<int>] <action>

IF TOTALMEM(ORY) <operator> <int|real> <unit|%> [<int>] <action>

the old syntax is still available but you get a warning that it is
obsolete.

If its okay I can sync it... what about the others?

We can leave the old syntaxes till 4.0.  We should use the step to 4.0
as a chance to clean up the language.
