[comp.windows.ms] Abort, Retry, Fail in a DOS Window

I've noticed recently that when I'm trying to read a bad floppy while in
a DOS window under Enhanced Mode, that my window converts to full screen
and I get double letters.  I've found that I can respond with an "A" for
abort and then type "MODE CO80" to fix the screen, but I'm still in full
screen mode.  I can EXIT back to Windows.

I'm running in 800x600x16 on a VGA Wizard, have DOS 4.01 and QEMM386 5.1
loaded.  I don't remember this happening before.  I installed QEMM about
a month ago.  And I'm running Win3 - of course.

Anyone else seen this one?
