Hello,

This is a follow up to my previous posting about multiple DOS windows in
Windows 3.0.  My problem was that I loaded a TSR (Command Retriever 2.0)
prior to entering windows.

As usual, an answer to one question raises new questions.  Like is there
any way I can get this to work?  I don't run windows all the time, so I'm
not ready to give up my retriever just yet.  If I had to, I wouldn't mind
uninstalling the retriever prior to entering windows, but I can't figure
out how to make this retriever uninstall itself.  If I did this, I would
like to be able to reload it inside windows.  I tried loading it from a 
DOS window, but this caused more problems.

So all of this could put me in the market for a new command line retriever,
one that can at least uninstall itself and work when loaded from within
windows.  Any suggestions?  One thing I really like about my retriever is
it handles aliases, function key assignments, and it will pop up a window
with previously typed commands by pressing Ctrl-W.  I've looked briefly
at some other retrievers out there, but could not find one that I liked as much
as the one I use.

Suggestions from those that have run into this and have a solution would
be greatly appreciated.
