Try doing what I do:

First run a DOS application, then switch back to the Program Manager.
Close the Program Manager to exit windows, with the Save Changes box
checked.  Program Manager will save all changes, then notice that you have
a DOS app running.  It pops up a dialog box saying "Application still
active; choose OK to end it."  Instead of clicking "OK", click "Cancel"
and you will still be in Windows, but with your changes saved.

This takes less time to do than to explain, especially since I always have
several DOS apps loaded anyway.
