[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Windows

In a magazine artricle I read that when using Microsoft Windows 286 you could
invoke, say Write, and when you quit Write you would return to DOS without
the usual Windows front end. It claimed the method for this was

   dos> win :write

If you try this Write complains that it can't find a file

If you do it with Paint, it loads up and immediatley drops back to Dos

If you try with Excel it locks up...

Has anybody out there used this? I couldn't find a reference to it in the manual

Help...
