mh. in 90% of my hangs i CAN kill os/2 just be pressing Ctrl-Break.

oh, i forget to mention i start CMD.EXE as workplaceshell and i start the
2nd pmshell by hand. so i can kill pmshell.exe via ctrl-break. 

(and i can ctrl-break out of wps to change DLL's, and i can ctrl-break out
of wps to 'ipmd pmshell' to debug my objects and according to CIS:
Workplaceshell support, the WPS catches the ctrl-break and performs an
immediateSave() call. 

 WARPED!, Mario
