Well, I'm happy for you then.
Since my BBS is DOS based, it presents a little problem when trying to
specify the settings of each DOS session I open, and keep then all the same.
The easiest way to do it is run everything from a DOS session, and use HSTART
to start Fmail, AMU, and two or three other programs that also have OS2
versions.
