Just noticed today that the Microsoft MOUSE.COM version 8.1
that I *thought* was loading into high mem, isn't.

So I read the README file that came with the upgrade :)
It said to use a command line option /U
So I tried that instead of "lh" - no go.
So I tried both lh *and* /U - still no go.

There is a block of about 27k free in upper memory, heaps
more than is required by MOUSE, but the bloody thing just
won't go there.

Now I *did* find that MOUSE.INI has a line with "LowMem" suggesting
that that is where the damn thing plans to locate itself :-(
Maybe I can change this manually, but do I say "HighMem" or "HiMem"
or something else?

Any guidance would be appreciated, please.

Thanks for your trouble,  Ian S.
