If you haven't created a PIF file for command.com, you may want to - as running command.com to start a DOS session without a PIF file will run DOS within a graphics window, and is quite useless for most tasks. Create a pif file with the "modifies screen" flag set, and 128K required, 512 desired. (The required/ desired #'s should get you as much memory allocated to the DOS session as is possible. Then, to switch between the DOS Session and EXCEL, simply hold downand press until the desired session comes to the foreground.
