What he said is true.  If you use "Shut down to MS-DOS" in the Win95
shut-down dialog, or press F8 , or do some other tricks like set GUI=0
in certain config file, you will be boot to plain DOS 7.0.  100% pure
DOS, no multitask.  Now if type "WIN" or "EXIT" at the DOS prompt, it
load the GUI part.  Learn something about what you about to advocate
before you advocate it.
