	Likewise, quit wasting bandwidth on a stupid retort to a legitimate question.
Do try and answer the question before spewing childish putdowns.

	Does or does not Win95 allow the user to change the number of files
for each session?  Incidentally, OS/2 does not require a certain # of "files".  The "files"
parameter is only used by the DOS session. (ie, when you close the session, the
memory dedicated to "files" is released) (or so the Command Reference says...)
