What are you referring to?  I use 386-to-the-Max with DesqView, and it allows
me to run a few programs at once, each one with over 400K.  (So, I know it's
using the extended-turned-expanded, and not the 640K!)  So far, it hasn't
been terribly useful (since what I run in the background merely takes yet
more time to get done....).  I'm hoping it will occasionally have its uses
though.

The lastest version of 386Max (4.08 I think?) has a new flag which has something
to do with multitasking.. perhaps this makes a difference?
