But I don't want to!   (Whine!)  

I got Switcher long before I got WIN95.  I found it a very easy 
way way to cut and paste between open DOS "Windows".  I was able 
to do that on a 286 system.  

Yes, I can do that via WIN, but there are far less needed 
keystrokes in my current setup.  

As it is, I'll live with the fact that I can't chain Switcher 
on the startup call to it.
