I'm trying to change the Preferred Size of Memory (click on the app icon,
not the alias, and choose 'Get Info' then open up 'Memory') for an
application (any application!). I can view the sizes, and the Minimum and
Preferred are even in text boxes that suggest I could change them, but
clicking on them does nothing. I am never able to get a cursor in there.
Also, it is unlocked.

As I recall, the application dare not be launched when you change the
memory allocation. Could this be the problem?

Nope, the application is not launched. Also, the lock located in Ownership &
Permissions is unlocked. Just for the heck of it, I have tried it while the
app is launched and the lock on, and that didn't work either.

Incidentally, does anyone know of a command-line way of doing this? Maybe
the terminal can bypass this.

I found my answer here:

You cannot manually change it. "
