I run 2 or 3 4DOS sessions all the time under Win3 with no major problems.
One thing that is VERY IMPORTANT (and undocumented) is that you must
start 4DOS with a "/v" parameter if you are running in real or standard
modes under Win3.  There are two ways you can do this:

	1) Edit the DOS Prompt by single clicking on it to highlight it,
	   then selecting "properties" from the File menu, and changing
	   "command.com" to be "4dos.com /v".

	2) Create a .pif file and add the "/v" as a parameter

Hope this helps.  4DOS is a great product...
