subject: Help with OS/2

Hi,
Firstly I would like to apologise if this question has been asked before
and answered, or if I have posted it in the wrong conference ..
My situation is this .. I am a quadriplegic and am able to only use one
finger for typing - I want to switch my bbs software from a DOS network
to OS/2 Warp Connect (v 4.0 when I can get an upgrade).
I've tried Warp v 3.0 but have experienced the following problems:
1) OS/2's "Special Needs" (one finger typing) do not work at the OS/2
   command prompt - they work 100% while in an OS/2 program
2) The "Special Needs" also don't seem to work in Windows 3.1 software
   .. I have the blue spine pack
3) The "Special Needs" do not work at the DOS prompt .. not a major
   hassle as I can always use Hyperkey's one-finger feature
4) Dragging & dropping is a major hassle .. as I have very limited
   control over fine-motor muscular movements
Anyone have any suggesstions which may help my situation?
Regards .. Alan
