When I type just "win" at the command prompt, Windows throws me into STANDARD mode with 907k RAM. The manual says that with my configuration, it should default to enhanced. After I created a 2-meg cache on my hard disk (the actual name of this procedure slips my mind at the moment) and typed "win /3" at the DOS prompt, it ran in enhanced mode with some 2.7 megs of RAM. Is it normal for Windows not to default to enhanced mode? Thanks... - Boris Burtin
