[comp.windows.ms] ANother strange quirk with Windows 386

I am experiencing another problem with Windows 386.  When I open a DOS
window using the commandw.pif things seem to be O.K. but I can't seem
to run any program tyhat recognizes drives, ie. search programs to find
that long lost file, even reading drive a: doesn't seem to be possible.
I don't think I changed anything in the pif except the stuff about
switching etc at the bottom of the pif definition from "text" to
"graphics".  Is this a no no?  Even Adobe Illustrator can't read drive
a:.  Is something wrong with the drive mechanism?
