"how would I go about changing my virtual memory settings in MS-DOS?"

DOS is real mode. Not virtual mode.

Real mode is 16 bits 1 MB total range with 640 KB usable. Virtual mode is 32 bit 4 GB range, 2 GB usable. There are some DOS extenders but that is another subject. DOS is real ... Windows is virtual (although Win3.00 will run in real i think, as i recall it has: real, 286(selector) and 386(virtual), selector mode is only available in a 286 machine, no i take that back, the 368 can emulate a 286 as i racall).

eek .. you are jerking my chain, and i fell for it !
