The subject line says it all really! :-(

When I click on the MS-DOS prompt icon I get a full screen DOS session.
ALT+ENTER gives me a window. I can type commands to either of these until I
switch back to full screen mode then I loose any keyboad input to the DOS
session. :-( I just installed the T640.DRV Trident driver dated 25/9/92
which other wise worked okay.

I've tried calling the Trident BBS but I cannot seem to raise them. :-(

To make my problem worse the UK subsidary of my supplier was put into
receivership by the US parent company at the end of last week. Not that
that was a bad thing to do---some of the people there deserved to be put
out of a job.

Has anyone seen this oddity with this driver? Is there a newer version of
the driver?

Any help apprecriated.

Regards, Trevor.
