Tony you got me there, I don't have a PeeCee I only use a Mac, well 
that's not true, I have one of the original IBM Portables (Luggables it 
weights about 30 lbs. with a 4.7 MHz Intel 8080 processor) and has DOS 
3.0.2 as an operating system. It's in the garage gathering dust.

However I'm sure that another member of this form will have an answer.
