Three suggestions:

1 run the Win3.1 viewer full-screen, or

2 Use the MGAGRADD driver, which doesn't seem to suffer from this
problem, or

3 set up an association from a program object to the file type in
question and leave the application field in the mime association blank.
This causes the file to be passed to the WPS, which invokes the
associated application.
