I have a question wrt the colon trick. The colon trick is the way to force MSW to just come up with your specified application. You do this by prepending a colon to the name of the application. Now, this has always worked for me 'till today when I tried it with DEC's VT320 emulator. A question I have is: does the colon trick work with all application or is it something that a developer must code in. I do notice that all the application that I use the colon with comes from Microsoft. Can anyone clarify? BTW, this is with Windows/286 2.11, not Windows 3.0. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment... George Chow
