I haven't been reading this group for long so I'm not sure if this is in the
FAQ list, but I've noticed for a while that anything that would normall
provoke an abort, retry, fail from DOS (pops up a cancel/retry window under
windows) has this uncanny ability to either hang my session or drop me out
to DOS immediately (and dos don't like it) losing whatever I was doing at the
time. 

The simplest way to provoke this response is to bring up a file requestor and
click on [a:] with no disk in the a drive.

Is this phenomenon perculiar to my system (a 386 - usually run in enhanced
mode) ?

Yours sincerely,

Darren Platt.
