I presume things would go better if you 'd change DOS_BACKGROUND_EXECUTION  
to =off in the environnemnt, Dos_settings.
Anyway, I do run Lotus 123r34 for Dos in Dosboxes, with 
DOS_BACKGROUND_EXECUTION set to =on. It's the original, it 's more flexibel 
and has more possibilities than that Quattro thing, and runs really at Warp 
9. You 'd might think about it, if you can afford it. (Lotus 123R4.0 for Dos 
is on the market now, and has the same speed, and more utilities)
On the other hand, Corel is to realese in due time the Corel Office for Java 
(compatible with OS/2 Warp 4).

"Corel's upcoming suite will include Java versions of applications based on
Corel Wordperfect, Corel Quattro Pro,...... all integretaed into a new GUI 
framework. This new office will exploit the technological experience gained 
by Corel from Corel wordperfect suite, as well as leverage the advantages of 
the Java platform.........a preview of Corel Office for Java will be avaible 
for download from Corel's Web site by the end of September...

It's begin November now, but I haven't seen anything yet .
Anyway, you do have something to think about, now. :-)
