Ok, I admit it: I've just recently started experimented with DJGPP.  But, 
I have searched long and hard for documentation describing how to set the 
computer into Protected Mode with the Flat Memory option but have been 
unsuccessful.  Could someone please point me to a tutorial or something 
(or describe the process) to do this:

1. Set the computer into PM with Flat addressing
2. Allocate a simple "char Array[1024*1024]" (for example)
3. Dynamically allocate memory in large chunks.

I've looked around a bit through the DPMI functions, but I don't 
understand the difference between them.  Could someone please explain 
them to me?  Thanks!
