 You can switch from Full screen to windowed and back with
 +.  When in the windowed mode you can cut and paste, but it
 is not quite as simple as in a normal window application.

 It will shell out to the working dir setup in the launch procedure for
 BlueWave.

 JP> Gotcha ! I do get the plain blank screen but no C:\ prompt.

 JP> I get a D:\Blue Wave line.

 The reason you do not get a C:\ prompt is that your setup switches you
 the the director D:\Blue Wave as your working directory and that is
 what you shell out to.

 Back a few days in this thread I seem to remember that someone asking if
 your offline reader was DOS based.  The answer is yes as there never
 was a Windows Based BlueWave that I know of. There was a Windows based
 reader called WaveRider that would handle BlueWave packets but it was
 created by a different author.  In the 2.20 2.30 vers there was a 386
 ver reader that required a 386 or better processor.  I never used one
 of these so I do not know much about it but I was of the impression
 that it was not a windows based reader.

 JP> ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12
 JP> -!- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5

 I see you are running ver 2.12 registered.  I do not recognize the
 Platinum Xpress line.  I ran 2.12 for a time but when George came out
 with the 2.20 I upgraded during the time there was a free upgrade.  It
 was only a short time (few weeks) that he made a little change and
 upgraded it to 2.30 which was the last ver that I know about.  It has
 worked as near flawless as can be ever since for me.  If I remember
 right when I first started with BlueWave I was running Win 3.1 and DOS
 and was working mostly in DOS.  When I upgraded to Win95 I started
 running in windows DOS mode full screen.
