Yep take a look at PIF files. These files are associated with DOS programs.

Windows has a few that it uses by default. You should create some specific to
your DOS apps. Hold on while I go and find the relevant stuff.....

Okay, the PIF editor appears in the accessories group. Run it and at the bottom
you will see some stuff about short-cut keys. Tick the relevant boxes according
to what keys your app. wants and then save this pif with a useful name like
'procomm'.

Now I bet you wanna get this onto your proggie manager's groups dont you!

Okay goto file on the PM window and choose NEW. Tell it you want to create
a program icon (or at least not a group!). Now you get a dialog box. Fill in
the description with something like 'Procomm' and then choose browse. Locate
the pif file and choose it and there you have it - click ok and the icon is built. I ought to mention that this can get a bit messy. If you can't by on the
manual I'll try and help some more!

While I remember don't try running command.com (and I think any other DOS app)
under Standard mode as it'll crash - I won't bore you with the techy stuff!

Best of luck,
