Any advice?  

Hi.                       entered: Sept 9/9:10am
 
I'm having trbl setting up Windows/286 properly.  I can't access 
all the system memory as a result.  Specifically, I cannot open 
simultaneously Lotus, WordPerfect5 and dBase4 without getting 
a message "Not enough memory to run".  
 
I'm using a BEST AVT-10 286, 40meg HD, 640k conventional ram, 3072k 
extended ram on Motherboard.
 
I suspect Windows/286 can't use extended ram like W..386 can;  
and when I try using EMS40.SYS as a device in CONFIG.SYS to trick
W..286 into thinking there is 3072k of expanded memory, it seems EMS40
recognizes 
only a maximum of 384k.  
 
Any advice?
