	I'm having problems getting batch files for program initialization to
	work under Windows 286.  As an example, I have a batch file that
	loads fonts to an AST TurboLaser printer, initializes pop up menus
	for a mouse, and then fires off WordPerfect 5.0.  If I run WP5.0 from
	within windows directly (no batch file), it works fine. But as soon
	as I try running with the batch file, I get the 'Program too big to
	fit in memory' message. (I've got 2MB of ram total, 640 regular, the
	rest expanded). Any help would be appriceiated.
