In trying to conserve conventional memory and run WP in a maxed out PC,	
I tried the /W parameter.  According to my documentation, /W=,* should
cause WP to use all free expanded memory needed and ignore WP's default
limiting factor of 75 or 80% (can't remember which it was).  

But WP did used the same amount of conv. memory (360K) and did not use
more exp. memory.  Am I doing something wrong here??

Environment: PS/2 70, QEMM managing expanded memory, WP 5.1
