Well, not exactly - but I get your point.

As you previously pointed out, these are not changes to config.sys - they are 
changes to the DOS_DEVICE settings in the DOS_PROPERTIES area of the settings 
notebook.  They apply only to one specific object. However, such changes ARE 
NOT changes to CONFIG.SYS - i.e. VIRTUAL MACHINE != SYSTEM.
OTOH, the statement I responded to said you needn't reboot after changing 
CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT.  *ONE* of those is correct!

Then we agree!  I guess my point was (and still is) that if you make changes 
to CONFIG.SYS you must reboot before those changes are implemented.  That's a 
fact!

Just as it should be... just as it is with DOS, Windows, etc - they become 
the defaults.
