Hi there

	I have a question about constructing a "clean" 2.1 Windows386-session
	(Yes, Im still using it). My machine has 8 Mb of memory and in WIN.INI
	I load Turbo Pascal and MS Word. Its great to be able to switch easely
	between tasks and cut/paste at will.

	Thats not the problem, the problem is when I need to do some minor
	change, for instance in an Excel-file, then its quite a pain having
	to terminate all those applications before being able to end the
	Windows386-session.

	I searched the Windowds directory for files that contained the 
	WIN.INI-filename and came up with two; WIN386.EXE and WIN200.BIN.
	Then I created a "clean" WIN.INI, renamed it to WIM.INI, made a copy
	of WIN386.EXE, renamed that and altered all references of WIN.INI in 
	it to the new filename WIM.INI. That didnt work.

	So now my question is; has anybody a working strategy (that dosnt
	inclued creating two similare Windows-directorys) for starting a
	"clean" and a more "customized" session of Windows386 (with files must
	be edited and so on).
	
	Any help/hints/tips is greatly appreciated

Thanx
		Arnold
