     Keepmem (numeric)
 
     The Keepmem switch specifies the amount of extended (XMS) memory
     or expanded (EMS) memory kept by PWB during a shell, compile,
     build, or other external command.
 
     Specify the value in units of kilobytes (1024 bytes).
 
     A larger number means that shelling is faster, and leaves less
     memory for tools that use extended or expanded memory. A smaller
     number means that shelling is slower, and leaves more memory for
     tools. If the number you specify is not large enough, PWB uses no
     extended or expanded memory.
