- Create a new Program Item in the Group and have it execute COMMAND.COM.

- They are both the same thing. The only difference is that one executes
- in fullscreen mode and the other executes in a window. You can actually
- toggle between the two modes, but I forget what keystrokes do that. Take
- a look at your manual. To experiment with it a little you can create
- a .PIF file that calls COMMAND.COM. Then call the .PIF in your new
- Program Item setup.
-
- Good luck.
