John, what commands do I use to designate the drive letter for an installed
CD-ROM?

I currently have LASTDRIVE=Z.  I would like to change this to a lower letter and
then designate my CD-ROM drive as the same letter designated by the LASTDRIVE
command.  I'm currently showing 575 K in lower memory.  If I could save some lower
memory by changing the drive letter designations it might make it easier for some
progams that hog lower memory to run.
