I have been having trouble with my config.sys file.. The manual shows
you no examples of config.sys's with the devicehigh implemented.. I
dont know what is wrong with mine.. can someone who has a working
config show me what im doing wrong? Well... this is it except for all
the files/buffers/lastdrive/etc stuff:

device=c:\dos\himem.sys
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe 800
dos=high, umb
highdevice=c:\util\mouse\mouse.sys
highdevice=c:\star\eansi.sys
highdevice=c:\windows\smartdrv 2048 512

and what i want this to do is to load the mouse, ansi, and smartdrive
into high memory, which would leave me with about 590-600K normal
memory free... can you tell me why it does not load them into high
memory? Thanks in advance :)
