Since I don't have Win ME at this time I was wondering if the config.sys
and the autoexec.bat, if they have such a configuration setup, can be set
up to select another operating system like Win 95/98 can. I have
presently Win98 and that how I use most of my DOS programs without any
problems through a operating selection mode.
