I hope someone can help figure this problem out.  I am trying to get
my DOS to load into upper memory so i can save an extra 45k of
conventional memory.  I have the DOS=High after the HIMEM device line,
however, when I walk through my system boot, the first thing that
loads is DOS and then DOS=UMB.  I've run memmaker several times, and
still no go.  I know I have enough conventional memory too, because
i'm trying to load a base configuration with minimal drivers.  After
loading this, the mem command tells me that the largest upper memory
block is 135k.  I don't know where else to go or what else to do.
This is frustrating, please help.

Frank
