Are you referring to the rectangle in the upper left corner with OS/2 
next to it?  It is not there long enough to do anything.  I didn't 
recall seeing it lately so I booted an AMD 550.  On that machine it 
was there for maybe half a second.  On newer machines I mostly never 
detect it at all.  I seem to recall a time when it stayed a while.

What I need is a mode that gives me the option of loading or skipping 
each line.  Is that what Alt-F is supposed to do?

Is there a counterpart to putting altf2on.$$$ in the boot dir?
