I am able to alt-tab back and forth between DOS windows and other applications. I have found that if I alt-tab quickly, the bar at the top is not displayed. If I press alt, then press tab while holding alt, I get the bar and can in fact press tab again to 'scroll' through the running applications. Works quite nicely. I think you are correct about needing a running application on the desktop to alt-tab back to the desktop. I haven't had this problem as Magic is loaded at startup. I can always get back to the desktop by alt-tab'ing to Magic. -Pat -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Patrick McClaughry >>No opinions - No problems<< ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
