Forget it.  I run a few Window's apps, but in order to get ANY speed out of 
them I reboot DOS.  WordWin wants 640K AT LEAST, and giving it the little 
you end up with in the Box and no expanded besides will kill you.

My advice is to run when DOS has total control over the machine, or twiddle 
your thumbs till WordPM.
