I keep running into the phrase "when you are operating under Windows" like
"when you are debugging under windows"

EMACS works perfectly as far as I can tell (there is even an icon) from
Windows 3.11. But I thought this was really working "under DOS" in this
case. Not so???? (The disk access is noticeably faster--I have Windows set
for 32-bit access with a 4MB cache.)

So when you are running a DOS program such as EMACS you have the problems
that might come in from "operating under Windows"???? I'm just trying to be
sure when I read about these problems I know what is being referred to. I
always thought there were "Windows" programs and DOS programs that run
under DOS but just as a convenience can be called up from Windows--this may
not be so.
