Perhaps you missed the fact that this person is not running with a '386... Thus he cannot be running QEMM. QEMM *MUST* be loaded for the virtualize switches to have any effect. A '286 just doesn't hack it. Back to the issue: I suppose it is a forgone conclusion that you want to keep these applications running while you are in another windows... There is the "run only in foreground" switch, but that halts the task when it goes into the background (and forces zoom mode). --Jerry Bain, raster@pawl.rpi.edu
