Yep, sad but true. I am the author of NNANSI.SYS (an "improved version" of
NANSI.SYS which I did not write), and your description is correct. No matter
how you set the screen swap, it doesn't work. You *can* continue to use
NNANSI, if you compile it with FAST EQU FALSE, but that negates a lot of 
NNANSI's value. I simply have a "debug" system configuration with NANSI.SYS
and the 80386 memory driver for turbo debug/profiler. On other occasions I
run wiht NNANSI and 386^MAX. Then again sometimes I need HIMEM.SYS and 
SMARTDRV... 

(I have a program RESTART that addresses these problems, the latest version
has been submitted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc)
