Try typing `start <program>' or `start -m <program>' - this may be what
you're looking for.

However, running DOS-based programs like DJGPP-compiled ones in Windows 
95 in a window is generally a bad idea; they will either run slowly, or 
Windows will pause them until you make them full-screen again.
