 JS> I was under the assupmtion that OS/2 stopped when you went into DOS 
mode.....  Maybe I'm wrong.
 
  Joseph, OS/2 is an advanced operating system.  It retains control at 
all times.
 
  OS/2 controls the operation of ALL programs running UNDER it.  While 
you are in the DOS box, you are free to run most DOS programs.  Since DOS 
programs can be "missed-behaved" the DOS box is suspended while in the 
background.
 
  But, OS/2 and programs writen for OS/2 continue to run.  Ok.

        You are quite correct,  I hurried that message and what I meant to
say, "DOS stops when you go back to OS/2"  
        
        Sorry for mistating myself.
