[comp.windows.ms] Window's PIF files.

Hi everyone.  Well, I finally did it.  I bought Windows 286 version
2.10.  Now how can I get all my nice programs to work properly.

I just can't seem to get Lotus Manuscript to work, nor Freelance Plus,
GraphWriter II, and just about everything else.

Obviously, either I can't read or the manual is crappy, or I am just
plain dumb.

One thing that really bothers me is that I can't even get the Terminal
to work properly.  I am direct connected to our VAX785 over my com1
port and I can get connected and signed on but then I get gibberish -
i.e. high ascii funny letters.  I have tried vt52, vt100, and ansi as
my selelctions but to no avail.  If I can't even get the terminal to
work, then Windows will be going back damn quick.

I know that there are some MicroSoft people that listen in here so I am
begging for some help.
