I have experimented a bit more and have found that I can use alt-tab fine, as long as I have opened one windows program, not necessarily Progman. So that was the reason my experience was different from yours. I wasn't using a screen saver, or any other win program when I encountered the problem. > I bet you could hit Alt-Escape to iconize your DOS application and that > should take you back to the desktop. Alt-Escape wasn't working, but I bet I could have alt-returned, and windowed my dos app. that would have gotten me back to the windows screen without haveing to close the app. I so seldom run dos apps in windows that I forgot all about that until I read this. Thanks again for the help. Stephen
