Well thanks much for the responses! In my naivete I kinda was hoping for a way for Windows to 'force' windowed mode.  

  Ah well maybe in SEV.  
 
 
I like the screenshot idea...very nice. I remember a game or two I played back in DOS days that you could hit a button and actually bring up a Lotus spreadsheet screen you could even type in!

 I think they made that game already and called it 'MOO3'.
