The WorkPlace Shell allows you to specify a different AutoExec.Bat file 
for each program. From the file's Properties: Properties => Session => 
DOS Settings => Other DOS Properties => [OK] => DOS_Autoexec.

In that same area you can also find DOS_Device which also allows you to 
load device drivers which are normally only loadable by DOS' Config.Sys 
file.

This is using Warp 4, but I'm sure that I was able to do similar in both 
Warp 3 and OS/2 v2.1.

Take care and TTYL.
