MS Word,PCNFS, QEMM problem

A new problem has come up in my neverending quest to get PCNFS, Win3,
MS WORD, and Advanced Telnet all working at the same time.

The short story is:  Advanced Telnet (a product that is *supposed* to
allow multiple telnet sessions to run simultaneously under Win3, and which
works with PCNFS) takes up so much memory that MS Word will no longer
run.  I installed QEMM and after some playing around released enough
memory for MS Word to run under Windows.  The problem is that in order
to print within Word (using PCNFS) one must execute the PCNFS command
"net print" from the DOS shell within Word.  Doing this causes the screen
to colorfully display a screenfull of blinking characters (
looks like the entire character set), then the screen goes white, and the
machine locks up in a major way.  It must be turned off to reboot.  The
only other way to release a print job is to exit Word, which is not always
convenient.

Any Ideas or suggestions are welcome....

	I'm in the process of purchasing a Windows Workstation for
	work and am looking for a Graphics Card that will do 1280x1024
	(either 16 or 256 colors).  The NEC 5D will support this
	resolution, but the one card I found that does do this
	resolution, Everex Viewpoint TC, seems to have a conflict with
	the system.  So are there any other cards out there that'll do
	1280x1024?
	
	Thanks in advance for any help....(email...if intrest I'll
	summarize).
	
	Sean

Actually, you do not have to exit Word -- you just need to execute a
DOS "exit" call. An easy way to do this from within WinWord is to
create a macro which looks like this:

Sub MAIN
Shell "command.com /c exit"
End Sub

and then "Assign to Menu", say, under "File NetPrint".

This will make your screen go temporarily blank, but WfW should come
back in a second, and your printer queue should be flushed.
There is even a way to do this entirely in the background so your
screen does not get disturbed at all, but I don't have the time to
look it up right now.

Under Word for DOS (either 4.0 or 5.0) you can likewise create a macro
which does a "Library Run" of command "exit".

Sorry I have no suggestions for your TELNET problems, but this should
help with Word.
