I've submitted a problem report to IBM about the default file dialog with a 
network drive.
What I found was that with long filenames, the file dialog would not 
populate correctly.  I wrote a quick program to query the dialog's listbox 
directly for a series of tests, and it turns out that the results are quite 
strange.
Can anyone else reproduce this problem?  With a heterogeneous mix of files 
with an average name length of about 30 characters, I get a 224 file limit 
(out of 269 files).
It's easy enough to test, however, by making 50 files, each having 200+ 
character long names.  The listbox labelled Files: should only display less 
than 20 of them for most cases (though a few cases show over 30 files).
Specifically, I'm talking about one Warp 4 computer networked to another 
Warp 4 computer, with standard NetBIOS.

My first experiment with marigolds against nematodes didn't work
out too well. I had decided to use marigolds as a companion plant
with my okra since okra is one of the worst veggies to have
nematode problems.  But at that time I hadn't been gardening much
and didn't know too much so did it all wrong.  I planted small
marigolds near the okra just after they sprouted.  Well marigolds
grow like weeds around here, and often get twice as big as the seed
pack says.  So I had a beautiful row of marigolds, but they
quickly crowded out the okra, and they never were seen again! 
I should have gotten the okra going a bit before adding the
marigolds.
I do sometimes grow marigolds in empty spots in the garden, but
don't have the time frame needed to cut them in to the soil. I
understand you get much better results if you grow then and then
till them  in where they grow.
