SUMMARY
=======

The MS-DOS 6.2 MEM command supports the new /A switch. This switch displays how
much memory is available in the high memory area (HMA). For example:

  Available space in High Memory Area    16K  (16,880 bytes)
  MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.

This switch was added to the product too late to be included in the
documentation.

Additional query words: 6.22 6.20
