Rich,
  I don't think you provided any insite as to why John is wrong.  If you
are concerned about wasting bandwidth, please, by all means, explain to
him and the rest of us why and where he is incorrect.  As far as I am
concerned John has proven his grasp of what he does know (concerning the
way OS/2 works in this situation) and questions the way Win9X will work
under the same situation.  You, in turn, have demonstated nothing more
than your ability to type and post a reply, and maybe your skill at
being rude and in instigating an arguement.  Be proud.

No worries!

Imp.
