$ I have MKS Toolkit, and DesqView (the latest version).  When I

$ attention with the ALT key, but the beeping doesn't stop until
$ I actually close the window.

$ My vi works perfectly otherwise (ie: not under DesqView).  I
$ have a 386SX with 2M RAM.

$ Does anyone out there have any ideas?  Have you had this

Co-incidentally, I have seen exactly this problem on my 25 MHz 386 before.
I was using DesqView 2.26 and QEMM 4.23 then. I can't remember if I tried
after upgrading to QEMM 5.0. I thought it was probably some compatibility
problems with my 386 then. So, I didn't ask the net.  May be using
DesqView 2.30 will solve the problem. .... but I don't use DesqView 
anymore. .... I just like Windows more .... No flame ..

$ Thanks in advance.

Sorry I can't give you a verified fix.
