UMB|NOUMB  Specifies whether MS-DOS should manage upper memory blocks
(UMBs) created by a UMB provider such as EMM386.EXE. The UMB parameter
specifies that MS-DOS should manage UMBs, if they exist. The NOUMB
parameter specifies that MS-DOS shoudl not manage UMBs. The default is
NOUMB.

HIGH|LOW Specifies whether MS-DOS should attempt to load a part of
itself into the HMA (HIGH) or keep all of MS-DOS in conventional memory
(LOW). The default setting is LOW.

AS to *real* DOS are you sure you are not thinking of NT rather than
Win95?
