- Well, I've run into this also! PM-Globe seems to get "stuck" to the DOS
- app! What I mean is, it will lock up in some form, usually drawing the
- lines as noted above, so I try to close it, and it DOES vanish from the
- desktop, but NEVER disappears from the window list, and still steals cycles
- from other apps, UNTIL I close ALL DOS apps running. I've also noticed this
- problem with the ReadNews sample app that came with the IBM TCP/IP package.
- Can a programmer-type help on this?
