Here are the shortcut file properties) I’ve been using in XP. I make NO claim that they are the best. I tried TAME software; it made some things easier, but other things seemed harder. Newer versions of TAME (http://www.tamedos.com) may work better. (I should try…) A Jan. 2008 TAME version is in downloadable beta.

cmd line: C:\PROGRA~1\GRANDV~1\GV.EXE /A/V/L/T/W
font: TrueType only; 9x15
memory: All auto; uses HMA; protected -> off
screen: use window; all options checked
misc: Foreground, mouse and background: unchecked
Fast pasting and all Windows shortcut keys: checked
Compatibility: all unchecked

In Win 2000 I also used an intermediate batch file, but it didn’t seem to gain me anything in XP.

In case you didn’t know: Alt-Spacebar, E,P does the pasting from windows programs to GV (or another dos box file), and is much quicker than right-clicking on the title bar and using the context menu.
