 BLINKER LOWMEM RESERVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Purpose:
 Reserve conventional memory for program use.

 Syntax:
 BLINKER LOWMEM RESERVE <nuMemSize>

 Default:
 <nuMemSize> is 16 Kb.

 Description:
 This command is used to reserve the specified amount of conventional memory
 for program use, preventing the extender from using it for other purposes.

 Under normal circumstances the extender will use all available extended
 memory, followed by all available conventional memory, to satisfy program
 memory requests. This may result in there being no conventional memory left
 for critical routines that require conventional memory to communicate with
 TSRs, real mode interrupt handlers or other real mode code.

 Memory reserved by this command can be allocated by the program using
 DOSAllocRealSeg() or DPMI function 0x100.

 Some third party libraries may require a BLINKER LOWMEM RESERVE setting for
 correct operation - consult the library documentation or contact the library
 vendor for further information.

 Example:
 # Reserve 32 Kb of conventional memory
 BLINKER LOWMEM RESERVE 32
