From MS windows 3.0 manual:
page 636 (Index):

Hmm.... let's look on page 522....

page 522 (Optimizing Your System)
* To set up a permanent Windows swap file:
  1.  If possible, compact your disk,......
  2.  Start Windows in real mode by typing _win /r_ at the DOS prompt.
  3.  If necessary, close any applications....
  4.  Run Swapfile by choosing Run from the File menu, typing _swapfile_, and
      choosing OK.

Lots more information, too.

In short, RTFM!! (especially the INDEX) It's not all that difficult to do.

If you using windows installed on a network, find the network administrator, and
ask him if you can look at the manuals.

If your copy came without a manual, bitch at your distributor.

If you pirated the program, then suffer.
