Hello Peter!

Do you mean using full path name kinda \\computer\directory\file instead of
Object ID?  Don't know if it would work even between OS/2 machines, in general 
case.  Haven't tried it that way.

Taylor (the guy who was mainly in charge for writing WPS) several years ago
told at one of conferences that he wanted to make WPS objects really shareable 
over networks, but AFAIK it wasn't done because of overall strangulation of
OS/2 at IBM (poo to IBM forever).  Pity because many nice things might
result... just for example, dropping some scheme from my computer onto shared
remote desktop would mean using scheme there.

Best wishes,                                   Harry
