[comp.windows.ms] Protected mode and a few questions

I am wondering exactly when (how often) must Windows 3.0 switch
back to real mode.  From a 286 machine, I understand(I may be wrong)
that to switch to real mode actually requires a reset of the CPU.  If
this is true, how is it done. (I have heard something about the keyboard
controller???)

Another quick question I have is that I have noticed that alot more of
the windows now have title bars and close menus.  In particular, alot of
the dialog boxes.  Is this a change in the regular dialog box type, or is this
just a change in style of Windows 3.0 programs.  

Finally, is the himem.sys the same one that is used in Windows 2.1 or is
this not even needed?
