A *dumb* question?  When I read it, I thought it was a pretty good
question.  Why would a gamer care?  Perhaps because some games require
higher files= settings than others, and when you're scrounging for extra
memory having a ludicrously high files= setting is a problem.

At any rate, files= is just an example.  You can change *any* DOS
setting on a session-by-session basis under OS/2.  You may well be able
to do that under NT too (don't use it so I don't know).  Win95 doesn't
do that, unless you use "MS-DOS mode", and even then you effectively
have to write your own CONFIG.SYS file for each session.
