 When I used Procomm and WordStar 5.5 I could call WordStar with Alt A 
from Procomm.  Having upgraded to Procomm Plus and WordStar 7.0 I get a 
Not Enough Memory message when trying to call WordStar with Alt A.  I've 
got 3 Meg RAM in this 386SX, use Dos 5.0.  My config.sys file is thus:
 
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 1024
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS 1024 /A
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\BURNDEV.SYS 16000 F3
BUFFERS=30
FILES=30
 
It seems like I should be able to get enough conventional memory 
to run WordStar from within Procomm Plus.  Is there anything else 
I can do here?  Would QEM386 do the trick?  I suppose I could 
install Windows, but that seem excessive to get done what I'm 
looking to do.
