- Thanks for response. That is when I have principally noticed it also.
- Also, the "DOS from Drive A:" shell never successfully runs. At times
- I can successfully run a DIR command at the A> prompt but then the
- shell is hung, responding to no command. I have to CTRL-ESC back to
- the list of tasks where I have always been able then to kill the hung
- shell.
- Frustrating...
