Hi ED,
	yes, I did know and do that.  The little square is not the one top
right (size) between quit x and Underscore (iconise).  It's in the
toolbar top leftish called fullscreen.  This gives a full size screen
without a Win95 toolbar.  (just like pre-win dos).  then when you exit
or alt tab etc this is your default screen.  That is next time you power
up and clk on the dos icon you get a dos full seze dos screen not a dos
window.  To get back to a dos window you must edit the dos icon or its
alias.

	I only got into this due to my super system at work.  The standard dos
and rhide defaults were fine on the 14" job at home.  Oh and of course
when I quit rhide with a full size 21" screen dos was locked and I had
to "alt con del" which was a drag.  Once I set up the dos icon and rhide
it works really good at work.

	Thanks for the mail Ian.
