Could anyone tell me how to load a program into the extended memory area?

You can't. EMM386 only provides for XMS but the programs must be written to take advantage of it. The memory shuffle used in DOS allowed some of DOS to load high, thereby freeing up lower memory for other programs.

Check out this site for details:
