The alt-tab function works fine for me as long as I have progman loaded (it
doesn't have to be the shell, just loaded.)  What I want to do is use Usher for
my shell, not load progman, and still have the alt-tab function.  

I suspect that when you use the alt-tab function you either have progman
loaded, or another program is duplicating the effect ( I have a suspician
file manager will do this.)
