Uhhh... I don't think that works.  A-N brings the Workbench screen to
the front, but is doesn't change the order of the other screens, i.e.
the VT100 screen will _still_ be in front of the DirMaster screen.
Actually, when I use VT100 v2.7, the window is about ten pixels smaller
than the screen, so I can move it down.  I don't know if this is because
of my vt100.init file, or because I use morerows, or if it's normal.  If
you still can't do it, try wkeys.  It has a screen-to-back hotkey.

Uhh... That doesn't work either.  PCCopy on the extras disk only copies
from 5.25" disks.  At least the version I have.  Dos-to-Dos does 3.5" or
5.25" disks.  I don't know how reliable it is, though.  It frequently
won't read my disks, so I just use PCCopy.
