okay, create yourself a dos session (using the program template, or copy
the existing dos full screen), then right click on it and select settings,
then goto the page that says "DOS Settings" or "DOS memory settings", find
virtual memory, and bump up your ems or xms or whatever you want...(those
instructions are pretty vague, to be precise i'll have to look at my os/2
box at work, if you can't figure it out from that, mail me tomorrow)..
