My PC is an IBM PS2/70. I am running WINDOWS 286 2.1 On the network is a NAS 3270 HOST gateway. If I run the gateway program without WINDOWS, it works fine. If I run the Gateway program with WINDOWS as a standard (not in a window ie full screen) applications it works fine. If I run the gateway program with WINDOWS as a window application, it runs allright, but the displayed characters are invisible. It seems to be working fine, I can type, log on to the host, do work, sorta, I just can not see what I an doing. Incidently, if I run windows 386, my characters show up fine. But I do not like windows 386 memory manager. Any ideas? joel Joel Lessenberry, Distributed Systems | +1 313 948 3342 joel@cfctech.UUCP | Chrysler Financial Corp. joel%cfctech.uucp@mailgw.cc.umich.edu | MIS, Technical Services {sharkey|mailrus}!cfctech!joel | 2777 Franklin, Sfld, MI
