ABOUT WIN 3.0 AND COMMUNICATION/COM PORT CONFLICTS Configure your computer system with mouse on COM1 and modem on COM2. Setting modem on any other COM port or even the mouse on any other COM port will cause problems and give "COM PORT USED BY DOS APPLICATION" messages. After doing that, use the WIN 3.0 text editor NOTEPAD and edit the WIN.INI file in the WINDOWS subdirectory. Get to the [Terminal] section and change the "Port" setting to COM2. That should solve the problem. I had similar problems, too. Let me know on my e-mail address if it works. Paramjit Kahai
