As a matter of fact, sofar I have not found a problem using a Win3.1 
compatible version of any program that I or my extended family needs.   When 
it comes to ultimately replace computer HARDWARE, only THEN would I consider 
moving along to W95.

Like what?  If it's a game, don't bother saying anything.  I despise the 
justification of W95 for the sake of running a game.

2 different OS's are not a problem for me, personally.  I have worked in 
Win3.1, VAX, and various flavours of unix at ONE workplace.   Regarding using 
a system a home, I wouldn't base my selection on what is used at work.   If 
my job would require that I use the same software at home, then I would 
expect the employer to supply it.  Otherwise, I tell them, "yes, I have a 
computer at home, but it is not compatible with the products you use."
People shouldn't be taking their work home with them anyway.

Oh.. I'm not worried about FileManager.  I rarely use it anyway.  Thanks for 
the tip though; I am sure others can make use of it.
