I want to run wp50 and Procomm Plus...I have a 286, and so am doing
it in real mode, cause ..cause..I can! :-)

Problem is, while when in wp50 I can type alt-esc and get back to the
windows screen (and thus switch to Procomm), I *can't* alt-esc out
of Procomm!  I assume it's cause Procomm has taken control of these
keys, although in my manual I read that I have to *tell* windows this
or it won't let the dos app. have those keys....

But...there it is.

ANY advice?
