MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When printing to a serial port (COM1, COM2, etc.) from Word, the system may hang if the DOS MODE command, which was used to configure the serial port, is of a different version than the version of COMMAND.COM. For instance, this problem occurs when using the DOS version 4.00 MODE command while the system is running under DOS version 4.01.
