The above was my previous posting, earlier today. I now have some
added information. I changed the 123.pif file to show "XMS required"
from 0 to 1024 and the "XMS limit" from 0 to -1. After doing this, I
got all the way into 123 and automatically loaded WYSIWYG, but then
got three lines of messages, parts of which read "invalid opcode ......" 
the dots being some number and "general failure". These messages appear 
and disappear so quickly that I can't read them all.

After this, I exited Windows and changed 123 to not automatically load
WYSIWYG upon entry. I went back into Windows, and 123 loaded fine. I
then manually loaded WYSIWYG and it ran fine, until I went to exit
123, then I got the "invalid opcode" and etc messages. 

Any help?????
