I don't often get out of memory errors, but chkdsk shows 607 Kbytes.
I also have the extended memory support for windows configured. I
can actually do DDE from Excel to WfW.

This I couldn't do either. We'll just have to wait for Windows 3.0.

Yeah, the manual really sucks. But the tutorial isn't bad, it just
doesn't go very far at all.
