This is a question that has been asked before - I would be grateful if
somebody could forward the answer.

I would like to run a DOS session (just text, if that matters) in a
window, akin to "xterm" under X.  If I create a simple ".pif" file,
the window will pop up, but a dialog box will come up saying something
like "Cannot run application in window.  App will restart when run in
full screen mode".

The application runs fine in full screen mode.  And, if I pause the
session, I can open it again as a window.

Can somebody send me a simple list of items to check off in the ".pif"
editor, and other hints (ie; touch up to *.ini).  I have a 386sx clone
(Austin), 4 meg ram, and am running in 386 enhanced mode.

John.
