I admit this is asking for really good gravey on my exelent mashed potatoes, but is it possible to give a dos box in win95 a name in the titlebar other than "EXW"? Since we can't multitask, i am running 8 interpreter sessions, and there is no way to tell the monitoring screens apart from one another! The properties for the dos dox don't offer a clue as to the program the interpreter is running. If winet crashes, like as if the isp drops out, the first of the 8 programs to notice it will redial, but the 2nd one will apparently start building a huge disk swap file, and maybe the 3rd one as well, and the disk thrashing won't end until i kill off all 8 processes and restart them all,,, cause while i may be able to see which window display is not updating, i don't know the name of the process it is displaying, so i don't know which process to restart! Why don't i use a windoze box? cause i am having this lockup problem and i don't want to introduce my ignorance of windoze windows programming into the problem. Kat
