   Will, I'm probably being penny wise and pound foolish, I realize, 
   but my interest in programming for OS/2 has been mostly, as you 
   surmised, from the non-professional standpoint. Also, since I 
   loath 'C' (Pascal stalwart), the idea of paying that cash out 
   mostly for 'C' compilers and code samples kinda grates. Now that 
   I'm starting a new job, for Global Services, maybe I'll rethink 
   that and take the splurge anyway.

   BTW, remember that question about the Network Applications 
   folder? Turns out that the folder will ONLY appear if you are 
   doing a scripted "domain" logon (with verification)...These 
   machines were setup to do a simple /userid /password logon. When 
   I added the /D: param, the folder appeared as speced.

                                               LRA
