DOS in a Window

  I recently got Windows 3.1 (I guess it's recently for most of us who have
it). Everything was going fine, until I tried to open my icon for command.com
in a window (yes, I do have a 386). The window opened and it put the message
about pressing alt+enter and stuff. Then, another window opened up and said
"You cannot run this application in a window..." I can press alt+enter twice
in a row to make it full screen, then back to a window. So, I know that it
does run in a window. I changed the PIF I was using to the MS-DOS Prompt
PIF and changed only the "windowed" option, but the same thing happened.
BTW, I had no problems doing this in 3.0

So, I was wondering if any of you had any idea on how to fix this...
Thanks in advance.
