I have an interesting problem with DESQview 2.25 and the API Libaray version
1.00

I have a "locked" application which takes complete control of the screen
and the DESQview menuing system. My problem is that I need to switch from
25 to 43 line EGA text mode and back again. What happens  in reality
is that the call going in to 43 line mode is fine, but when I go back to
25 line mode the window is reset but DESQview still keeps the adapter
in 43 line mode. I talked to Quarterdeck and their recommendation was to
write a script which put DESQview back in 25 line mode. The problem here
is that DESQview will sporadicly leave the window "zoomed" or "unzoomed"
This is very unpredictable and is essentially a useless solution. Are thhere
any DESQview hackers out there who have experienced this and found a solution?
BTW - I am running on an Everex 386/20 with an Everex EV659A EGA card. 

 I appreciate any information I can get!

 Thanx,

 Steve
