Hello all,
I recently purchased Desqview 2.01 to dip into multitasking on PC's.
One problem I keep coming up with is being able to download in the
background.  I have RTFM'd inside and out.  It says to make the
task "not swappable".  I have done that, but I can't swap out the
program and run others after that.  I have made it swappable, but
transfers stop when I switch to another window.
  What I want to know is ALL (and I mean ALL) of the Desqview
parameters that I have to set in order to download (or upload)
in the background.
  Here is what I have for equipment:
		IBM AT ('286) clone with:
			EGA
			2.5 meg of 3.???  EMS Expanded RAM (not EEMS or extended or 4.0)
			40 meg HD
			640K "Normal" RAM
			COM4 for 300-38.4K baud communication to Ethernet Terminal Server
		Software:
			MS-DOS 3.20
			Desqview 2.01
            Logitech Mouse
			Telix v3.00     (comm package.  Script language like C)
			Have tried Pro-Yam (big brother of Zcomm)

    Do I have to switch to EEMS or EMS4.0?  (Not a viable alternative
but.....).
	Any help will be appreciated.   You don't have to mail to me
because I read this group every day.
