I'd just like to thank everyone who has replied to my question about how 
Windows/286-386 uses memory. There were too many responses to reply to
individually. A majority of the people said to go with Desqview to multitask
DOS, so that's what I did. However, now I'm having a problem using it with
communications software. When I use Procomm 2.4.3, and double click to go into
DV, the communications freezes. At first I thought it happened only when 
transferring files, however, even when I'm just viewing text, it freezes. I've
tried setting it up w/ Communications interrupts at priority, and without, and
no, I did NOT allow it to swap out. I've kept it in a virtual window, as it
writes to the screen. This same problem occurs w/ PCKermit. 

Also, does anybody know of an ATI VGAWONDER(512K) driver for Desqview? I'd love
to be able to run it in 800*600*16. The way things are now, if I try to run
fractint in the background, when I come back to the screen, it is royally 
messed up...

Thanks much...

Mark
