Thanks, but no thanks. 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. -- \_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\ Stephen Wilhelm Majors: Computer Science | MC Computer Mississippi College Engineering Physics | Support Team swil...@mc.edu Minor: Mathematics | sup...@mc.edu
