Can one running VP/ix (let's say 1.0.6 for instance), start DOS Batch session? As you know, VP/ix locks up the terminal it was activated from - so even if you do have virtual con- soles, it doesn't help a lot. But is it possible to run DOS tasks in the background, somehow invoking VP/ix (or whatever can be better)? Please, no X-Windows. For now it's not a solution for me. Thank you.
