Regarding Windows crashing when started from a batch file:  Perhaps your
problem is that you are using PC-DOS 3.3, rather than MS-DOS 3.3.  As I have
stated before, we have no problem with this under MS-DOS.  Personally, I've
never thought much of IBM's versions of MS-DOS.  It seems that when they get
their hands on a version of MS-DOS they mess it up (i.e.: PC-DOS 3.2 had over
21 new bugs in it, while the MS-DOS version had only a few).
