That's a reliable method, for most DOS pgm.s There is also (usually, I think) a setting you can
change in
Properties of the desktop icon, to specify a full-screen session. (This does not work on laptops,
from what
I've heard.) Hope I've got this right, as I despise Windows and avoid it as much a possible, only
occasionally running NT-4. In NT, some DOS stuff does not seem to want to go full-screen, by any
other means
than Alt-Enter.
