[comp.windows.ms] Full Screen vs. Window

simon@hpspwr.enet.dec.com (Curiosier and curiosier...) (09/05/90)

I still like to use Kermit 3.01 as the terminal emulator under Windows
-- it provides the best mapping for DEC's LK250 keyboard (The first row 
of the keypad, from ESC to PrtSc are mapped as Digital's PF1-PF4).  The 
PIF file sets the Display Option for Window.  However, when I start this 
application it returns an error message that it cannot run in a window, 
that I should change the setting for Full Screen and that I should check 
the PIF settings.  I do, start the Kermit in full screen, then change the 
setting for window and it works fine.

So far I got only one more application behaving like this:  LIST v.
7.3 --  a file viewer.

I run Windows on a 386SX with 4 Mb RAM.  Does anybody have a clue of
what causes this behavior?  Will appreciate any help.
