I am quite apalled that Windows is unable to trap the ctl-alt-del in a
Dos-prompt shell opened from Win3. That causes me to loose every other
open window within Windows. What is one expected to do if an
application run in the DOS prompt shell were to hang? I think this a very
serious omission.

I use desqview 2.25 and it just kills the shell if you hit ctl-alt-del
which is exactly what is expected.
