- This Q/A from the FAQ may answer part of your question.
-
- Q: Does PC/GEOS support MS-DOS 5.0 or DR-DOS 6.0 task-switching?
-
- A: Version 1.2 of GWE supports MS-DOS 5.0 task-switching if your
- hot-key is the default (Ctrl-Esc).
-
- The DR Dos TaskMax (task switcher) ships with the update version
- 6.01 of DR Dos. The task switching is only supported in Pro (not
- in v1.2). The current support allows you to cut/paste between
- PC/GEOS applications and DOS applications.
-
- Shag could (and probably will :-) tell you more about it.
