I'm afraid that won't do much good. When you minimize the program, it will
drop with DOS icon, regardless of the nice stuff you assigned to it.
One day, I'm sure, Microsoft will fix it. Maybe it will happen with
the new Win32 (another band-aid for DOS, or the real operating system?
Don't hold your breath).
