Ok, that's a good way and I used to do it that way too until I came to
realize that dos 6.2 is no better than dos 7.0. Those extra drivers
that Win95 loads in dos7 can be forced to not load by adding this
line;DOS=HIGH,UMB,NOAUTO (thx to JD for that tip). If you want Qbasic
back and other old dos stuff like HELP even, it's all on the Win95
cdrom which you can put back into dos7. Then you create a multi-config
and you will not need to press any function key to get dos, you just
select it from a menu at bootup. Very simple and very functional. Dos
6.2 is just a waste of space as far as I'm concerned. Mind you,
compared to the size of games these days it's no big deal, but why
have two copies of the same thing on your computer?
