Since TSE Jr. is running under the same DOS window as BW, see if you 
can find where the WinXP configuration is for running BW. 
If there are two versions of COMMAND (COMMAND & CMD), see what happens 
if you switch from the one listed to the other. 

As Mark says:  & 
are windows keystrokes 
(though some DOS programs could utilize them, making for a problem). 

The WinXP configuration for running BW should have a place to reserve 
those keystrokes only for the use of WinXP, that way they wouldn't 
be passed on to TSE Jr.
