I've gotten it to work before. There's a few catches, though. I don't
remember exactly, but I think this is how you do it:
First, while you're in DOS (before you start Windows), create a new task
with just the command prompt, so that you have two tasks, each is simply
the DOS prompt. Then start Windows in one of the tasks, but be sure to
start it in standard mode (instead of enhanced mode). To do this, you
type WIN /S (I think). Once you're in Windows, you can switch back to the
DOS task using the TASKMGR.EXE included with DR DOS. Make sure you use
the TASKMGR.EXE that comes with DR DOS, not the one that comes with
Windows.
