Managing TSR Programs DOS or Microsoft Windows 3.1x

Page 114 highlights

Managing TSR Programs (DOS or Microsoft Windows 3.1x) Terminate-and-stay-resident programs (TSRs) are loaded into memory and stay there so you can access them whenever you want. If you are loading or using an application program and receive a message that you do not have enough memory, TSR programs might be taking up valuable space. Check the documentation that comes with each TSR program to find out how to solve this problem. You might be able to remove the program from memory for the rest of your current work session. Sometimes you can change the order in which the TSRs are loaded so that memory is used more efficiently. Or perhaps you can remove from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file the TSR programs that you do not use frequently. See your operating-system documentation for assistance on editing or disabling statements in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 100 Using Your Personal Computer
