Curious. I do get the title bar at the top of DOS screens when using Alt-Tab but I always have at least one Windows application loaded (like Screen Peace). I never load file manager or program manager. >And I have made one more discovery, having at any time loaded and unloaded file >manager or progman, I then get the bar at the top of a dos screen when >alt-tabbing.

I bet you could hit Alt-Escape to iconize your DOS application and that should take you back to the desktop. Chuck -- Charles H.
