I *did* read the instructions and the instructions mentioned nothing about 
increasing the "files=" line in config.sys.  I also checked the FAQ that 
came on the descent disks and found nothing about it.

Spending my good cash on a product that doesn't work makes me 
irritated, understandably.

(And besides, one of the unwritten rules of internet is that on alt groups,
 flames get much more attention than polite requests for help. :) ) 
 
P.S. Thanks to Mark Allender at Parallax for mailing me about the problem.
