I can think of two things off the top of my head.  First, check your
CONFIG.SYS to see if it has the line "PROTECTONLY=YES".  If so, change
it to say "NO", since DOS is not a protected mode application.

Second, one of the older Beta versions had a bug that wouldn't allow any
DOS boxes to open if there weren't any DOS devices loaded.  If the above
doesn't work, then try adding the line "DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\ANSI.SYS"
to your config.sys file.  Then you should be able to run DOS boxes galore.
