Well, I took the advice of many a person and tried to run command.com
in a window.  It proptly came back and said "386 system not correctly
installed."  I then tried to run any other dos program and got the same
thing.

I called microsoft and they said that the reason that it does this is that
I need at least 2 Meg's worth of memory in order to get this thing to 
work properly with my system.  ( I have an Inboard 386 )  They said the
only thing that will work with windows for me is applications written
specifically for windows.

So much for my $100 and the ability to do dos under windows for me!

Thanx to all who replied however.... :)
