I recently transfer files from two IBM PS/2 286 computers to 2 new 486SX/25
computers.  The 486SX/25s all have 4MB RAM and 110MB hard drive.  After the
Windows 3.1 files are all transfered, i reinstall Windows 3.1 again to get
the 486SX/25s to run in enhanced mode.  It now can run DOS apps in a Window,
etc.

When I double-click on the MS-DOS prompt icon in Main Program Group, I can not
get a DOS prompt!  I reinstalled Windows again, it still does not work.  All
I got is "Application Execution Error, No application is associated with the
specified file.  Create an association by using File Manager."  The MS-DOS icon
is using the PIF that comes with Windows.
