Here's the way it works for me. The Properties Program box in Windows 95 will
accept the addition of /e4000, as in C:xy4\editor /e4000.exe, but the next time
you pull up Properties Program the /e4000 is gone. The way to get the 4 megs of
expanded memory is to go to the Properties Memory box and change the number to
4096. Then, be sure to click on Apply and then OK. I initially failed to check
Apply and the change didn't take, but it does now. And, at Carl's suggestion,
you can check this by having XyWrite 4 running, then going to the DOS prompt and
typing mem/c. Now all I havr to do is figure out why I need the extra memory.
