The number pad right and left arrows work, thanks. First I used the menu 
to set up programs in both workspaces.

I did get some more error messages about .com files while trying to 
exitemu.

I installed the old one without installpkg.  I still don't know where it 
is hiding but copying over /root/dosemu worked.

I did not see the /root/.dosemu files in my find -name search.

I just removed the files from Dec. and left the new ones there.

Thanks as always.

I need to replace my Tseng (VESA 2.0) card in order for Xvesa to work 
properly in this computer, but I just discovered that you CAN view both a 
text screen (TTL) and a graphical screen (VGA - zgv) at the same time.
The Tseng also only does 1280 and zgv did 1600 on the other computer with 
an S3 card, which I need to view a whole column of text at once.

mdacon does not show inverse video either.  No underline.  Just bold. It 
is not ideal, but nice to have anyway.  I will have to use xdosemu in 
translations with underlines.

I am temporarily displaying with zgv on one computer and using WP in DOS 
on the other until I change the card.
