Sometimes when I'm in DOS, it won't let me do alt+enter to put it in a
window. I just had to exit the DOS prompt, and when i did it beeped after
it closed.

I know what you mean. I sometimes have the same problem when I try to run
older programs for DOS in this Win95 DOS screen thing.My guess is that is has
something to do with graphics and sound. Sometimes you get an error message
that says something like: This Prog uses graphics which cannot be displayed
under Windows. Sometimes the prog is just running slow or making weird noises
which come from my SoundBlaster.
I think Micro$oft just didn't spent enough time to make Win95 and Dos fully
compatibel.
You should write a special startup sequence for Dos for this prog.
Maybe this is just an result of device drivers for Win which don't work with
DOS.
