Question #1-

Where ever you initate your DOS mouse driver, make sure that you have the 
" /y " option added to the end.  This will allow concurrent use between 
Windows and the DOS virtual machine.

Question #2

If you select the control icon (the upper left hand icon in the DOS 
Windows, you will see a listing for fonts towards the bottom of the list, 
this is where you would change your font selection.  If your video driver 
doesn't support other fonts, no other fonts will be listed here.  But any 
fonts that are supported will be listed.  The DOSAPP.INI was probably 
over written with the upgrade to WFWG3.11.
