I already know how to set up script files to automatically JH>make DV open the PCB wiindow. The following DEBUG script will create a program that quits DESQview as long as there are no applications open that have "Allow Close Window Command" set to N on the second page of the Change a Program Menu. Mark and Transfer the following lines of text into a plain ASCII file. Call that file QUITDV.DBG. n quitdv.com a 100 MOV AX,101B INT 15 MOV BX,1559 MOV AX,1110 INT 15 MOV BX,1051 MOV AX,1110 INT 15 MOV BX,FC00 MOV AX,1110 INT 15 MOV AX,101C INT 15 MOV AX,4C00 INT 21 rcx 27 w q Make sure that you don't leave out the blank line before rcx. Save the file QUITDV.DBG, and make sure DOS's DEBUG is on your path. Force-feed your .DBG file to DEBUG like this: DEBUG < QUITDV.DBG This will create a file in the current directory called QUITDV.COM. Again, it will not work if an open window has "Allow Close Window Command" set to no in the DVP. Otherwise, SAVE YOUR WORK, type QUITDV from a DOS prompt (or run it from a batch file) and watch the fun.
