I seldom (read: almost never) resort to drag 'n drop since I never use a
gui to do a text kind of job. I always prefer text type tools to GUI,
which is why I like NFTP, OS2C et al. I don't even own a mouse. {^;

That seems short sighted of OS/2. I have seen several pgms that asked
for that entry for THEIR pgm. Does that mean multiple entries of
SET HOME=. ??  Thanks, as always for your good counsel.
Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
