Wow I miss all that good old DOS stuff!

In config.sys you use the DEVICEHIGH=   statements.
DEVICEHIGH=HIGHMEM.SYS
and don't forget EMM386 .....

In autoexec.bat you use the LH=   statements.

Or ..... if you have pure DOS 6.2x - "we don't need no steenkin windoze" - 
then just set up config.sys and autoexec.bat  and then run MEMMAKER.EXE and 
let it configure your memory usage ..... although I always found I could 
squeeze a few more bytes of memory out by doing it manually.
