Thanks, but as I stated, I have a utility that does just that, but that is
impractical when using the Alt+Tab to move between DOS boxes and Windows
without closing the box. What I'm trying to find is a means of checking
it's status from a script. If there is a way to check it's status via a
script, it is simple enough to create a script that will check it whenever
the focus changed, and if needed, turn it on or off, whichever the case
might be.
Thanks,
Dennis Brown
