I found that TAME destabilizes my NB setup, so I REMed it out of AUTOEXEC.NT and put the program call in a batch file that also invokes editor.exe.
The better way to isolate Tame for Xy is to have Xy set to call not
AUTOEXEC.NT but some specially created alternative--e.g., AUTOXY.NT.

Then you can even launch a Xy with Tame and a Xy w/o simultaneously
(from two different icons). My AUTOXY.NT is:

@echo off
REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3
C:\PROGRA~1\TAME5~1.1\tame-nt.com
The way you set Xy to use AUTOXY.NT (or AUTOMYNAMEWHATEVER.NT) is the icon's Properties/Program/Advanced. That should open a dialogue box headed "Windows PIF Settings" and show the AUTO...NT used.
