You can use 'top' which will show you a line about the amount of swap 
and how it is currently being used.  You can use 'swapon -s' to show you 
what particular partitions or files are being used as swap.

Sorry for the confusion.  No, menu.lst has nothing to do with swap. I 
was stating that there was a problem in /etc/fstab and in 
/boot/grub/menu.lst where partitions were being named using 'UUID' 
instead of '/dev/hdax' nomenclature.  This was causing me a problem in 
both my booting and in swap.  The menu.lst entry was causing the booting 
problem.  The entry in /etc/fstab was causing the lack of swap.
