Have you ever been working in a dos program and had it go into a window
for no reason?  It happens to me every once in a blue moon.  For example
I use turbo c version 1.5.  I can not run it in a window from a pif.
But I was working on it and a notepad (the one the comes with windows)
and when I switched from the notepad back to TC it came up in a window.
The weird part was that it was active and worked just fine.  So I said
good deal and went to change my pif.  When I tried to spawn TC in a
window it would not let me.  Anyhow I am working in 386 mode if that
matters.

If you have any ideas please post them.  I would love to be able to 
run this and several other dos apps in windows.
