	I am using a 286 system with 640K + 2048K memory and 512K on a
Paradise SVGA video card.  I can currently display 256 colors at a maximum 
resolution 640 x 480 pixels.  Any higher (800 x 600, 1024 x 768) and I can 
only display 16 colors.  I was wondering if a card existed that would allow
me to increase my video memory to the full 1024 x 768 x 256.  
        
        I was told by the owner of a local computer equipment store that such 
a card did not exist, and that the male connector on the top of the card was
for a light pen.

	Assuming the storeowner was right, maybe someone out there knows how
my "+2048" memory (I still get the terms "expanded" and "extended" confused,
but I know the difference between them) could be used as video memory.  Does
such a program exist?  Any info would be most appreciated.
