You, sir, have a configuration problem as well as an attitude problem. I use PP every day all day and have no problems running programs in the console. If you're really running a DOS program and not an NT console program, you should remember that all flavors of NT (NT, Win2K, XP, XP64) do NOT support MS-DOS programs.
