A new problem has come up in my neverending quest to get PCNFS, Win3,
MS WORD, and Advanced Telnet all working at the same time.

The short story is:  Advanced Telnet (a product that is *supposed* to
allow multiple telnet sessions to run simultaneously under Win3, and which
works with PCNFS) takes up so much memory that MS Word will no longer
run.  I installed QEMM and after some playing around released enough
memory for MS Word to run under Windows.  The problem is that in order
to print within Word (using PCNFS) one must execute the PCNFS command
"net print" from the DOS shell within Word.  Doing this causes the screen
to colorfully display a screenfull of blinking characters (
looks like the entire character set), then the screen goes white, and the
machine locks up in a major way.  It must be turned off to reboot.  The
only other way to release a print job is to exit Word, which is not always
convenient.

Any Ideas or suggestions are welcome....
