	Can anyone please explain more about the function of EMM386.EXE?
	I was not clever enough to understand fully how it functions from 
	the manual"s". The thing I know is that it can push half of my 
	drivers up to the high memory block, and free up at least 100K of 
	my base memory space.
	The main problem came from the parameters, ie, what is and when 
	to use noems, ram, etc. 
	Also, whenever the EMM386.exe is loaded, pressing CTRL, ALT plus
	a random key would simply hang the machine -- even with CTRL, ALT+DEL,
	ie, it would not warm boot the computer. Does this meant to happen?

	Many thanks in advance for any help.
