It should.

 GL> Does Win XP have a DOS box?

Yep.  And  brings up Full Screen for that window.  You 
can access it from RUN --> COMAND.COM or by clicking on a BW icon 
if you can figure out how to set one up.  SEARCHING for Bwave.exe 
and clicking on it works, too.

So far, all seems to be running normally.  The minor problem 
is setting up paths for that BAT files I use in XP.  The XP 
is a fully new setup from the factory.  

The problem is I have a lot of utilities I use to both send and get 
mail for reading in BW.  And, all my setting except for getting into 
the window are done in DOS.  

But, everything I've tried so far is working normally.  And, I intend 
to push that limit!
