- You can try 8; the prospects aren't great, but it might work. What
- you're seeing relates to the fact that DESQview can't promise support
- for any video mode higher than 640x480 VGA, though we can usually save
- and restore 800x600. Meanwhile, try this:
-
- 1) In the Windows window, write a Windows macro that takes you to a
- full-screen DOS window.
-
- 2) In that full-screen DOS window, press the DESQ key.
-
- 3) When you return to that same DOS window, write a DESQview Script that
- types the word "exit", and follow it with an {Enter}.
