subject: WinME DOS mode startup

It's been a long time since I've messed with real mode DOS. I'm
 usinmg WinME, and have downloaded the real mode DOS patch. What I need
 help with is how to setup a config.sys, and autoexec.bat file for
 getting as much free conventional memory as possible. Does anyone
 have a setup they could show me? I know how to setup my soundcard
 drivers, and CDROM drivers, but I don't know how to setup the rest.
 I have a DOS 6.22 config.sys, and autoexec.bat file setup on a floppy
 disk. The files look like this:

 Config.sys:

        DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
        DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM AUTO
        DOS=HIGH,UMB
        FILES=30
        STACKS=9,128
        BUFFERS=40
        DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\GSCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 /v
        LASTDRIVE=Z

 Autoexec.bat:

        {at}ECHO OFF
        PROMPT $p$g
        PATH C:\DOS;C:\
        SET TEMP=C:\DOS\TEMP
        LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD000
        LH C:\DOS\CTMOUSE.EXE


        I know I would have to edit these lines to point to the
 C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND folder, but I'm wondering about these lines
 in the Config.sys file:

        DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
        DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
        DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM AUTO
        DOS=HIGH,UMB
        FILES=30
        STACKS=9,128
        BUFFERS=40

        Should I leave the SETVER.EXE, HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.EXE RAM AUTO line
 in there? Should I leave the STACKS, FILES, and BUFFERS as they are? Any
 help would be appreciated.
