[comp.os.msdos.desqview] 3 questions from a new user

I just purchased desqview 386 and I am elated, I have a couple of questions
that are probably in the manual, but I have not yet read it cover to cover...


1) When I run two copies of procomm plus (installed twice on the hard disk, one for COM3 and the other for COM7) on different serial ports the last one to run always wins... That is the first dies.  I can run another program that operates on COM1 and yet another that works on COM2.  Is my problem that DESQVIEW does nothing with ports other than COM1 and COM2 and the other COM ports are left to there own?


2) When I run a full screen graphics program like Ventura or Excell it does not stay in a small window.  (I was able to get Excell to do it once, but I have not been able to repeat this)  I beleive that I have the visualization and writes directly to screen messages correct! 


3) If a program uses the mouse how do you toggle between DESQVIEW having control of the mouse or the application?



Thanks in advance...
