Thanks to all who responded my question of getting 570K+ memory for a WIN 3.0
DOS window. All the responses I got seem to give one solution: Get QEMM 5.11
memory manager, though one person mentioned there is a possibility that the
upcoming DOS 5.0 will include most of the features of QEMM.

It appears to me that I really need to invest another $80 to get this useful
piece of program. Solutations for QEMM. And I feel sorry that I cannot solve 
this problem within Windows. I hope the Windows gurus in Microsoft (Anyone
else can claim to be more proficient than them? :-) will come with a solution
and include it in the next release of this really useful GUI environment.

Multitasking with Windows on a 386SX20

Hi, I have a question.  I recently purchased a 386SX20 and received
along with it a free copy of Microsoft Windows 3.0.  Now, what I'm trying to
figure out is how to do multitasking.  The manual spends a fair
amount of time telling me how to set up multitasking options, but
does not seem to say anything about how to actually engage
multitasking.  For example, I would like to be able be working
on a document in Multimate and, if I am running the spellchecker,
instead of simply sitting wasting time, open a new window and run
another program.  Since I was able to load Multimate as a non-
windows application (it has its own icon, etc.), shouldn't I be
able to do this?  I'm sure I'm simply missing something very basic,
but the manual does not seem to cover it, and, frankly, I'm stumped.
Thanks in advance for any answers, suggestions, etc.
