A few suggested changes:

LP> IFS=C:\OS2\HPFS.IFS /CACHE:256 /CRECL:4 /AUTOCHECK:C
              Try 512 or 1024  ^^         ^ Try 16 or 32

   (f you have more than 16 megs of memory and are using HPFS)

  > SET PROMPT=$i[$p]
     Try this as : $p$g and add a line like:
   SET DIRCMD=/A/O:GN/P/V

  > FILES=20  (Change to 60 or 80)
   Change this immediately...20 is too low for win apps and some dos 
   apps will also choke...

  > MAXWAIT=3
   On a fast machine you can change this to "2"

  > BASEDEV=PRINT01.SYS
   You may try adding a "/IRQ" after this...don't recall but I
   thought that was the default in v3

  > BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
   Unless you have a Microchannel machine, REM this out

  > BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT
   You only need this for reading compressed install type disks,
   REM it out if you are done with the installs.

  > FCBS=16,8
   Set this to "8,4"

  > DOS=LOW,NOUMB
   You can experiment with "DOS=HIGH,UMB" when everything else is 
   working properly and if you have DOS apps that need more memory 
   or if you want to experiment with loading DOS drivers high... 
   this can also sometimes help with Win apps.

   The rest of it looks ok.

   Settings for individual applications are on the properties 
   notebook for the object, accessable by right clicking.

   Good luck...
