-> the proper SIO specific commandline format for adding that extra pesky dash for
-> passing the hot comm handles back and forth.

  Ahhhh!!!  That - caught me when I went back to OS/2 after taking a few
years off! 

-> Febbs is sweet for interactive use and X_List is sweet for batch/maintenance
-> use with most of Febbs' tricks and few more of its own.  As I recall, even
-> generating 2.x files falls over if you try to use 3.x heirarchical area
-> names...which, of course, was one of the first things I wanted to
play with.

  Hrmmm... I think your right, I never bothered to use the heirarchical
area names for files, though I did for message areas.

-> a boon to have one static line of display, no matter which menu and how many
-> options, and to see a full string instead of the one letter Xpert mode.

  I never played with that, but yes I can see how that would have been a
great option!

-> a Netware LAN.  In 3.x, OS2 got the MCP (named pipe) server and DOS retained
-> the file-based method from 2.x and "never the twain shall
meet". Can't think of

  I always ran the OS/2 flavour and always from one machine so I was
fine with MCP and used it with Bink and Max all the tiem. :)

  Makes me want to break out my archives and play with the windows
version again. :)
