[Win] dos boxes

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

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.
