OS/2 Version 3.0 had a feature called "Dual
Boot". If you installed this when you
installed OS/2, you can click on this icon
(it is under "Command Prompts") and it will
boot into Windows. To switch back, you have
to run a program that is somewhere in the
OS/2 folder. This program could very well be
the same one, but I'm not sure.

I think it's "\os2\boot /DOS" to start dos/windows, and "\os2\boot /OS2" to go back to os/2. Perhps without slash. To get exact syntax type "help boot" in an OS/2-command-prompt.

bye,
chris
