You haven't messed with it long enough.  You can have seperate files
for each and every DOS session out there.  I have seperate
AUTOEXEC.BAT files for most of the games out there.  Also, most
everything can be handled with those plentiful and annoying DOS
settings, which are just different dos CONFIG.SYS options for each DOS
session.  There are no settings in OS/2 that aren't a part of DOS
itself, you probably just never knew that they were all there.  And,
just like under OS/2, you can speed up DOS programs greatly by messing
with them.  By the way, most of the settings aren't mentioned in the
DOS help files or in the manual, and it is real hard to find out how
to use them.

I wish OS/2 didn't have all those settings as well, but they are a
built in part of DOS (and, by the way, a built in part of Win95 as
well).  They are all things that Microsoft invented, not IBM.
