Phil,

I'm not sure about XP but under W2K on our main machine here I still run 
several of DOS based programs, one of which (DIRMATCH run out of PFM) has to run 
full screen to work properly.  On a W2K (and I think 95 and WFWG) <ALT-ENTER> 
puts the active (DOS in this case) window into full screen mode.  And to get 
between it and anything else running, I use <ALT-TAB>.  The DOS version with W2K 
is I think descended from 6.22.  I don't know what might come with XP, if 
anything.
