subject: Bunch of Questions....

 I've "just about" got OS/2 setup to the point where it's a usable system
 however, I have a bunch of questions I've not been able to resolve....

 (1) Using FC/2 to browse and edit files, is there any way to print a
     file from FC/2? None of the commands nor pull down menu's indicate
     that function. For example, if I edit a .CMD file in FC/2 and want to
     print it out for future reference, is there a way to do it within
     FC/2?

 (2) I've loaded SIO v1.60d, but haven't been able to get it to work
     properly. I have an Internal USR Sportster setup on COM3, 03E8, IRQ4
     (verified by Terminate), yet the ONLY setting in the config.sys file
     that works is C:\SIO\SIO.SYS (COM3).
     If I put the complete line in ie; (COM3, 115200, 03E8, IRQ4) I get an
     error message on boot up high lighting 03E8. If I leave that out, SIO
     indicates a PCMCIA modem and says "Nothing Found". I've tried a
     variety of combinations ie; leaving out the speed, using only
     abbreviations, etc., to no avail. Even tried (3,3E8,4,-). No go.
     Darn thing works fine at that address in WIN98 and DOS.
     Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

 (3) Is there an OS/2 command similar to DOS's DELTREE.EXE? When deleting
     a directory with deep sub-directories, it's time consuming as well as
     a PITA to DEL (dir) then RD (dir). It took me over 30 minutes to
     delete the OFFICE51 directory from a previous install, before I could
     re-install it where I wanted it to go. (Changed HD's).

 (4) I have used DeBurgs LIST.COM for years, and was delighted to find an
     OS/2 port of it. I loaded it into my \UTILS directory, which is in the
     path. Works fine on Drive C (HPFS), but not on Drive D (also HPFS) or
     Drive E (FAT16). Anyone know why and how to correct it?

 (5) Are there any advantages (or dis-advantages for that matter) of having
     Sun Office v5.1a being the default Web Browser? I didn't choose that
     option as I didn't know what it would do. I'm using Netscape v4.61 and
     so far, it's working OK, except for slow D/L speeds possibly due to
     the SIO problems mentioned above.

 Whew... that outta be enough for now... 

 I'm going to be home all this week, so I would like to get as much of OS/2
 setup as possible. I may not have this much time again for quite a while.

 Thanks....


 Have a GREAT one!
