I've obviously broken something.  When I try to bring up DOS applications
full-screen or within a window I receive an error message saying "You 
can not run this application in a window or in the background ..."  I
only get this message for applications that are using pif files.  I have
checked the pif settings and can't find anything wrong.  Any suggestions?
By the way, these are just "text" applications and at one time I had no
problems bringing them up full screen or within a window.
