Hahaha. Nice sidestep.
First the teamsters come along, criticise me for using Win95, telling me that
OS2 can beat it no matter what. They also tell me that DOS support under OS2
is better than REAL DOS!!!
And THEN, YOU tell me that OS2 is not DOS and that is what my problem is. Yet
Win95 can do it just fine.
KA> How much control of session settings do you have under Windows?
Program Information Files (PIF).
KA> you run individual sessions with completely different properties,
KA> loading device drivers in some sessions, but not in others, different
KA> amounts of memory allocated, maybe even different versions of DOS,
KA> etc.?
See above
KA> BTW, did you ever bother to look at REXX? I've never used them
KA> personally, but there are a number of object related functions,
KA> including setting properties and opening objects.
I have no interest in a script language at this time.
