Yeah, yeah.. I corrected this the first time after someone pointed it out. 
You can disable paging in Windows 386 Enh mode. Cannot in Standard and Real. 
A minor error considering my point which was in most environments including
diskless workstations (which started the thread) you would not want to 
disable paging for Windows in 386 Enhanced mode. (More on this in my second
reply).
