I am able to run Dark Forces in one window with 2 nodes of a BBS in 2 other DOS 
boxes doing 28.8 transfers, and no crash...Dark forces got a little jump every 
once in a while, but it was still playable...so I believe that, YES, that was 
multitasking...Whether Warp can do it or not isn't the issue, it is preference. 
And Warp didn't work well for me, and Win-95 does...not to mention Win-95 is 
going to get all of the native apps...Warp has very few...
