Works great, thanks.  They don't get opened in the exact order I wanted
though, or at least when they are minimized they aren't in that order.
Also, the last opened window (DOS box) stays at the DOS prompt instead of
going back to the Desktop.  Any ideas around that?

Ok, I'll look into it.

Yes, I'm going to have to have a think about my exact requirements on that
one. I think an emacs window is what I want.

And very quick, and doesn't make me have to use the mouse, and when I exit
I am where I left off, and the data is still on the screen even. Anyhow,
there is a PM version of emacs anyway.

No way!  When I see qedit running under Amiga, VAX/VMS, Unix, Atari, MSDOS,
OS/2, Windows, and available for commercial use for free, I might think
about it.  Ha ha ha!

3.11 for both MSDOS and OS/2.  I was planning on making the executables
available for download sometime, as they are bloody difficult to compile!
BFN.
