  18. |   Microsoft (presumably you aren't counting DOS as "a system from
  19. |       Microsoft"):
  20. |
  21. |       So are you saying that no flavor of Windows has a tool that pops
  22. |       up a command-line window?
  23.  
  24.  
  25. Microsoft Windows 3.0 and 3.1 have a way to pop into a COMMAND.COM, which
  26. initially takes over the entire screen (ick) but which can then be turned
  27. back into a window or iconified.
