Each "Windows" application to be specific. Not if you want to run
DOS sessions also. The amount of conventional memory you get in each
DOS session is slightly less than what you have just before you start
Windows.

So, if you can load as much TSRs (keyboard enhancer, disk cache,
mouse driver etc. etc.) into high memory as possible before starting 
Windows you get more conventional memory for each DOS session you open
under Windows.

See above.
