subject: os/2 problems

Hi folks, I've installed OS/2 Warp on an experimental basis, 
and am having the following problems:

1. The default cursor type when starting an application appears
to be half a block in size instead of the normal underscore.
Applications such as msged just use whatever the default is.
Ditto for command line applications such as "zcalc".  Launching
an OS/2 full-screen creates the underline cursor though, and
subsequent programs also work.  Also, if I execute a ".cmd" file
to execute msged, it works OK.  Maybe I should just stick with
that!

2. The top left hand corner of the Binkley screen has underlines
under all the blue stuff.  Exiting and restarting Binkley makes
that go away.  I have it automatically started whenever I boot.

3. I have a severe lack of file handles for OS/2 applications.
I have asked about this in the OS/2 programming conference.

4. My tasks aren't automatically shown on my "minimize to desktop"
unless I choose a window list.

BFN.  Paul.

P.S. The good news is that the HPFS386 patches work on my current
install!
