which is what I do.

I do.

I do not use TOGA on T/O

I use it more often than not on the 737-800 and 747-400, mainly just to be
practiced with it. I already know how to push the throttles forward by hand.

Now on win 98 on 2002 I can't get the throttles to reverse thrust but on
this PC I can.

How are you engaging reverse thrust? I just press and hold F2, which sets
reverse thrust after it sets throttles to idle.

TOGA I tried to use that once, but dunno what it is.

TOGA initiates take-off thrust if you are taking off, and initiates a
go-around procedure if you need to go around on an abandoned landing approach.

In the real aircraft, it's on the throttle handles. In PMDG aircraft, one of
the screws on the MCP panel doubles as a hot spot that you can click on to
engage TOGA.
