I have a DOS application (MicroEmacs) which I regularly run from
Windows. Before running it I want to run a small TSR which remaps some
of the keys. I do this by putting the two commands in a batch file and
running that:
KBDUK2
EMACS
This works fine in enhanced mode, but in real mode when I exit from
MicroEmacs I get a popup window which says:
MICROSOFT WINDOWS POP-UP PROGRAM SUPPORT
Your program has been loaded and you may activate it as you would
normally. When you have finished using this pop-up program, exit it
and press Ctrl+C to return to Windows.
I then have to press Ctrl/C to continue.
Is there any way to stop the message popping up? It's very confusing
for naive users, who don't know what it means or what to do.

Many TSRs seem to have a built in remove (usually activated by an "OFF" argument). There are also programs available to 'mark' and 'release' the memory used by TSRs. I haven't tried the last method, but I would assume that a sufficiently clever mark/release would work the way you want. -- -- Bill Hyde | wbh@druwy.ATT.COM or att!drutx!wbh -- AT&T Bell Labs Denver | (303) 538-4326 (I.S.COMM/CORNET 374-4326) -- If it's not fun and it's not important then why am I doing it?

We happen to have a batch installing a TSR, running a program, and removing the same TSR. It gives this quoted message above, which is indeed very disturbing for some of our non-technical users.

I was thinking about this the other night when I noticed that I had loaded pop-cal before quicken and not removed it and still didn't get the message! Must be something else that tips windows off about the TSR. Perhaps it's the keys it uses or the PIF or the machine type or the windows mode. Sorry I misled you.
