Using 5 MBytes memory, I often get the message "CANNOT OPEN APPLICATION
DUE TO FRAGMENTED MEMORY," or some such baloney.  I use Versaterm,
WriteNow, EXCEL, PowerPoint, and SuperPaint.  Usually the message 
arrives when trying to start EXCEL or PowerPoint after starting
WriteNow, or when trying to start WriteNow after starting EXCEL.

Someone suggested starting the Microsoft applications first, but that
doesn't solve the problem.  Is there something I'm missing?  Please
provide any information which might be helpful, but observe that I'm
not a computer expert--just the facts, man.
