I'm not going to any trouble at all. I had the problem solved a day after
I came across it. This echo has managed to remove any significance of the
actual 'problem'.

It's annoying to have to switch back to the GUI to change DOS/OS2 CLI boxes.
You'd be suprised how much hotkeys can speed up things. I have used F11 and
F12 (and shift-F11 and shift-F12) to input things I commonly do. Eg. F11 runs
Norton Commander and F12 translates into 'exit' to close the current window.
It's not much, but I'm a speed demon :)
