You don't need a "dos session" in Win95. You click on the icon of Doom or whatever and it runs. So far I've found it best to let Win95 run it the way it wants but if you have a quirky game, you can edit the properties of the icon and specify a config.sys and autoexec.bat. Win95 will use these settings to run that application but it doesn't affect memory for everything running. ---------Tom > ========================================================================== >Simon Chung Go Canucks Go! >sch...@Direct.CA Equipe d'OS/deux > >Q: How many Microsoft employees does it take to change a light bulb? > >A: 563.
