My experience: Some flat panel screens and their associated video cards don't
seem to handle DOS applications very well in a Win 2000 / XP full screen
session. And the CRT is fading fast in the marketplace.

I certainly agree that full screen is a better place to work. But this has to
be balanced against the time and effort of getting a ten year old DOS program
to function satisfactorily in an increasingly hostile operating system and
hardware environment.
