methinks that part of the misunderstanding in this thread is that
ALT-space, ALT-ENTER and such are windows command keys... not offline
reader or editor keys...

for example, in win98, ALT-ENTER switches DOS tasks between fullscreen and
windowed... ALT-space brings up the menu that the top left icon controls...
top left icon as in similar to the X in the top right of a windowed
session...

another problem you may be facing with winXPP is that there are two command
interpreters... command and cmd... one is "better" than the other
but the opposite offers better compatibility with older programs... or
something like that... anyway, i know that one can choose which command
interpreter to use per DOS task but i don't know how that is done...
