Joel: Not quite - I have seen background tasks run in the OS/2 sessions
while you are tinkering in the DOS box. For example, I can view the
results in the DOS page of a ray traced picture, and have the ray tracer
start working on the next picture in an OS/2 partition.

Similarly, I can print while working in the DOS page. OS/2 only stops the
DOS box when you switch away from it - it doesn't stop OS/2 processes
while you are in the DOS box. (I think I read this in Gorton Letwin's
book too)..   Regards, -turgut
