I can't replicate that. If for example I command "sw

from a DOS command line? Both DOS and XyWrite versions of
SWitch work as designed here.


Robert,

I've tried this at the DOS command line and I get the same behaviour. sw foo  brings up a list
of running programs but when I select one, nothing happens and the screen stops responding. If I
Alt-Tab to another program and then back to the DOS window, it will have recovered and I can repeat
the process.

Does sw need the explorer shell running? I use Litestep, not explorer. Could that affect it? 
--- Yes it does. I've just reloaded explorer and sw works fine. No wonder you could'nt reproduce
the behaviour. I guess I just have to live with it. Oddly, though, I seem to see no problem with
sw, with litestep, under W98se. My problem, though, now.

Regarding faxing, when I print the Fax driver in W2k, it invokes the fax wizard. I suppose one
needs to be able to communicate, somehow, with the print dialogue box. That is beyond me, however.
