I have an application that I developed using BC for Dos, which was
running and debugged when I ported it to windows.  Once I got the
windows version running, (running without any error messages upon exit)
I tried to run the debugger to step thru the code.  It (TDW) left for Dos,
gave me the menu & source editor windows etc. all fine and dandy.  But 
when I asked it to display the output window (i.e., Windows)
it hung.  

I am using Windows 3.1, BC for Windows 3.1, a Fahrenheit 1280D card
(with the upgraded drivers for Windows 3.1) at 1028x768 with 8 Meg of RAM.
(I may have experienced the same difficulty at 800x600 but don't quote
me on that.. my memory is failing me)

P.S. Oh, BTW, Borland's usually helpful tech support offered great
insight into this problem (NOT!)  I think the exact quote was:
"Hmmm.  [Silence.]"
