Hi All , Yes it's me again 

Does anyone know of a better way of handling multiple config.sys files for
OS/2? Right now I am using the Alt-F1 while OS/2 is loading then selecting
the config.sys file I wan't to use. This is rather cumbersome for keeping
track of changes between the different config.sys files. Back in the DOS
days I could set up menu options inside of my config.sys for different
configurations. Is this option available for OS/2? I could not find it in
the docs.

As an example I have 3 config.sys files A,B,& C. I need to change the video
driver in all 3 & need to modify the NIC driver in A & C. To do this now I
have to manually edit each config.sys file. On boot-up I have to remember
to Alt-F1 & I am limmited to the number of config.sys files I can have
listed.

What I really would like is to have one config.sys file with a menu at
boot-up where I could select which drivers to load and which not to with a
core of settings that would not have any options.

example: Load Sound? [y,n]
         Load Netware [y,n]
         Load Peer-Peer [y,n]
         Load Svga or Vga [s,v]

To do this now would require 16 config.sys files!! Just for these 4 options
let alone a more complex set-up. If anyone knows of a solution please let
me know.
