Can anyone help me with this problem?

I have a DOS application that provides an enhanced console for an X.25 switch.
Running this in a window works file.

However what I really want to do is have two windows, each running a copy of
the program, executing at the same time. The comms software I am using handles
the multiplexing of the comms sessions but only the currently active window
is updated. Is there a way of having two DOS windows being updated concurrently?
Do I have to convert my application to a Windows application to be able to
do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Trevor
