Message-ID: <2068@compugen.> Date: 4 Aug 89 04:10:54 GMT Distribution: comp Lines: 11 Am I supposed to be able to run a comm program (using modem) in window 1, hit the desqview hot-key, run a spreadsheet for a while in another window, then return to the comm program without missing a beat?. This, on a 286. I use the comm program in desqview with a direct connect to another cpu with no problems. But frequently, with the 1st configuration, when I return to the comm window, there's nobody home. Characters may or not be in transit from the other cpu. -- We don' sign no stinkin dots
