I read somewhere in the manual that you shouldn't let com-progs be
swapped out. Is there any workaround for this? The problem is
that I am using Reflection 4, which is very good, even though it
is a quite big. It would be VERY nice if I could run
Refl. from DV, together with my editor (Sage), and a few other things.
But when I start Refl, and try to get back to DV, it just says that
'a non-swappable window in in the way'. So, is there any way I can
make this work? If I have to get another com-prog, that's OK.
As long as I have complete vt220-compatibility, I'm happy.

Don't suggest the com-prog in MS-Windows. I hate MS-Windows.
Besides it doesn't know half of the keys on a VT-keyboard.
Bying a 386 might also be a good advice, if I've had the money.
Besides, if I had, I would propably buy an Amiga 3000.
Now I have a 286, with 1 Mb memory. Would more memory do it?
(Expanded or extended, I never seem to remember the difference.)

I also tried opening two Basic-windows. Very cute, if the could only
run at the same time. Now it just says 'Swapping', and stops the first
one when I click on the second. Very annoying. So, what is happening
here? I tought that DV could multitask, even if you didn't have a 386.
PLEASE tell me it can!
