What are we going to do when DOS support in PC OS's goes away completely?

I have run into this problem with Windows XP, not so much with LEdit and
LDraw--I use L3P more often. Thankfully, there is still a Win98 SE computer
in the house!

In Windows XP you can open a command prompt
by selecting All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt, or
by typing "cmd" in the Run... dialog.

Right.  But newer OS's and video cards are becoming less compatible with
DOS programs, especially DOS programs that do graphics.

I used to be able to run LDraw with Super-VGA resolutions (with Win95, I
think).  I haven't been able to that in years. :(
