Can you give the exact syntax on using that in CONFIG.SYS.  Is it a bare SWITCHES=/E 
line on its own?  I have to explain to a user how to try it.  He's having problem with 
WordPerfect 5 under latest kernel and thinks it is due to EMM386.

Could be EMM386.  However, I believe the issue also might be due to moving the 
extended BIOS data area in the kernel since WordPerfect for DOS 5.1 is documented has 
having problems with moving the XBDA.  Microsoft's NOMOVEXBDA EMM386 option appears 
related, and is used to clear up compatibility issues with a couple of different 
applications.
