Graeme,

I';ve been using a neat little utility called SP.EXE, available here for
freq/download as SETPRIO.ZIP. It allows you to start either a dos or os2
session (windowed or full screen) and set the priority to anything that you
desire... very high or very low... and no need for an ini file as
everything fits on the command line...
