Assuming you're using a DOS window in Win98...
Haven't tested this myself, but right click on the MS DOS shortcut, then properties. One of the tabs is Memory, then there are heaps of things to fiddle with, one being "conventional memory".
Do you still have your DOS 6.0 or 6.2 disks? If so, install the help files (and only them) to a new folder and then get help on emm386. You will need the files help.com and help.hlp, which may be compressed as help.co_ and help.hl_ in which case you will need to run the DOS 6.x expand utility (on the DOS disks) to expand them into your new folder.
