What help is available on the DOS prompt? This has never been a problem for me. I have run POS on several versions of Windows, full-screen and in a window.

Ian,
It will bring up Windows Help if you do not have the DHPOS window selected (i.e. in focus). It's not a bug - it's a "feature" of Windows, for keystrokes to be sent to an open program you need to have it selected.
