+				our service with the following link (replace 2G with desired memory
+				in G or M):
 http://www.jalview.org/services/launchApp?jvm-max-heap=2G

+				Alternatively, if you want to create your own JNLP file then please
+				download the latest JNLP file from http://www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp
+				and modify the max-heap-size parameter for the j2se tag in the
+				<resources> element. e.g.
+			
+<j2se version="1.7+" initial-heap-size="500M" max-heap-size="1000M"/>
+ In both cases, you should save your new jnlp file somewhere and
+			then either point your web browser at the file's url, launch it from
+			your file browser, or from a terminal window run javaws (located in
+			your Java installation's bin directory) with the file location as its
