- Mike,

- Do you really want to suspend Windows, thereby stopping all programs that
- are running or are you dealing with interprogram communication problems
- like kicking off a DOS box asynch to your Windows program and wondering
- how to halt your Windows program until the other task completes? Either
- way, you might want to direct comments to comp.ms-windows.programmer for
- insight.
