   Now that I've got your attention, the problem is that Windows cannot
   find any of my non MS programs when I attempt to invoke them via the
   program manager. I've spent some time trying to get hold of MS to ask
   about this, but I can't get through and the $$$ are adding up.  All of
   these programs start properly under PCDOS 3.3. Is it possible that MS
   didn't test dos 5.0 with windows?!!!

Well, something went wrong.  Do you mean that windows can't find non
MS windows programs  that you've installed as icons in the program
manager?  I don't have that problem.  TPW worked fine before and after
the 5.0 upgrade.  So does everything else I tried.  Maybe you could
describe your symptoms more?
