So you have two options.  One is to use TShell instead of Workplace shell. That just gives you a TUI program launcher and leaves the system completely text based. The other option is to set the run workplace to CMD.EXE (or 4OS2.exe in my case) so that presentation manager still launches, but workplace shell doesn't. That's what I'm currently doing.  In either case, ctrl-esc pulls up a list of running windows. you can run multiple windows just like you normally would, although in the case of using TShell they're all full-screened.
