Hi Hugh,
I have played with WP ed.exe under dosemu 0.99.6 and found it to work pretty
well there. One thing though that is an annoyance is the keyboard mode
needs to be raw mode. An alt-F4 would switch to console 4 otherwise. How
have you dealt with this?
(as a note to Eric and others who may have read about my problems with
Foxpro..
setting keyboard mode to raw did indeed allow the control keys to be passed
to the application properly. How about a hot key to TOGGLE raw mode on and
off as a
quick solution to getting console switching back when needed?)
Regards, Dennis Reichel
