Round 2 of questions/comments:

In general WIN 3.0 is awesome! (wrt win386, and all of my X envts.)

1) Does win3 give each dos application a virtual 8088 machine when in
   enhanced mode?
   I have 9 mb memory (2 real and 8 swap) available and can only
   run 1 copy of edix and 1 procomm...then is says out of memory,
   kill an application.  Sooooo, the answer to this questions appears
   to be :  ?? no, they still share 640k. 

2) Comment:
   I wish that when I exit program manager, the entire state would
   be saved...i.e. protocol such that an application gets a save
   message and a restart message.

   Changing the background pattern with desktop, If I edit the current
   background, it will not take effect unless I select another and
   then reselect the one I want !

   So Far winword 1.0, and designer 3.0 work fine (no warnings) in
   enhanced mode.
  
3) Are there drivers/monitor configurations that win3.0 will run in
   super vga mode (i.e. 256 colors simultaneously) without dithering?
