	That's not all.  There is also a line in VM.CFG that seems to
default to:
	MEMORY 4000

	This has to be reset to a number just slightly below the actual
free memory.  I used 'MEMORY 580.'

	After using 'USPC/n' to configure the printer, USPRINT worked,
and reported having to swap 438K, which is presumably the minimum free
memory you can get away with (a few TSRs might go back now...) -- it
worked like a dog, but it's supposed to on a system without extended
memory.  The thing is, it did work.

	Thank you for the suggestion.  At least I don't feel so bad for
not seeing it in the manual.  It ISN'T in the  manual!
