You have to create a PIF file for your application.  Then you can make
reference to the PIF file on the "load=" line in your WIN.INI file.  So,
for example you might create a PIF file (using the PIF editor
program) for PROCOMMEXE and call it PROCOMM.PIF .  Then you put

LOAD = PROCOMM.PIF

in your WIN.INI file.  I hope I got that right.  I'm not at my AT
right now.
