Hmmm, OK.  Starting from scratch, I will probably have to move from 95/98 
to XP at work.  When I do, I still want to be able to take Procomm Plus 
along.  That's partly because it's rock-solid reliable and I don't want to 
change anything, or even recompile scripts for the Windows version of 
Procomm if I can help it.  The other part is that I simply don't like the 
look and feel of GUIs and much prefer a console-mode interface because I 
find the screens much easier and clearer to read.

So, do I take it that Take Command will allow a DOS terminal program to run 
as expected, while still behaving correctly under Windows?

     Thanks in anticipation,

              Robert.
