I have  Windows  3.0 installed on  my system.   I've been told that it does
multi-processing.  I have  a 286 chip though.

Anyway,  when I'm  in  Windows I don't see   any  multi-processing at  all.
Whenever a Window application is  running I  get the little hourglass mouse
cursor and I can't continue to work in another window.

If I  can get  multi-processing in Windows 3.0 going  on  a 286 chip then I
would be a lot  happier but there is  still a big hole  that I see  in this
environment:

On my workstation (Unix/X)  I  have some window smart  applications running
(x11notes, datebook, etc).  Any software that I want to  run that is window
dumb I do in a hpterm.  Now, translating that  into the DOS  world, I would
like to be able  to run a DOS shell  in a window on  my PC.  I don't expect
that I could run, say,  Turbo Pascal from  the DOS window  shell but  if  I
could  have multiple DOS window  shells   running  simple  DOS commands and
programs that don't assume  that the monitor is theirs  to destroy, I would
be alot more productive.  Is  it possible to run DOS  in a Microsoft window
using Windows 3.0/286  chip?  I see the configuration  options in  the  PIF
editor to run things like DOS shells in a window but it says that it is 386
only options and my 286 ignores them.

I had Windows 2.0 for a  time and I  was able to  run COMMAND.COM  from the
MSDOS "Run" selection.  It put up a  window that I  could type DOS commands
in.  How is this done in 3.0?

If it can't be done in 3.0 then isn't this a loss of functionality?
