	I've run this before, often overnight, without any problems
	but it seemed to me that it was only testing the first bank
	of RAM and not the entire memory.  Is this correct?  Will
	TEST check EMS memory once it is installed?

	My impression that it was only checking the first bank was watching
	TEST run before and after I added a bank of memory.
