open settings then
chose MENU, then
chose the "Open" item in the top "window" and the top "Settings" bar becomes
active (immediately to the right), then
click on "settings", then
change the "default action" to whichever view you want (icon, tree or detail).

I think the DOS SEttings idle detection only detects certain standard
kinds of polling, such as using the BIOS services to poll the keyboard
etc. 
 
Most of the NCSA Telnet ethernet drivers poll the ethernet device by
doing direct I/O to the Ethernet board.  I very much doubt if OS/2 has
anyway to figure out that this is "idle" polling, as opposed to doing
useful work.

Internal revision 6.412, 92/06/02 .....

I was advised to call a service representative.  After shutting
off the machine (It didn't recognize CTRL-ALT-DEL], I tried to
reboot and got a hdd controller error.  I tried booting from a
floppy (OS2) and it literally hung.  All the while the red light
was on.  I turned the machine off again, and tried booting from a
dos5 floppy.  Fdisk couldn't find the disk.  Somewhere in there I
also inspected my CMOS settings, which were ok.  On a final try
(I think without the dos floppy, I got 2 beeps and a hard disk
failure message.)

Finally, before deciding to throw a brick at the thing, I just
turned it on again, and got a perfect WPS, just as if nothing had
happened.

The system:

No name 486-33DX, 8meg, 128 CACHE, 200meg Maxtor IDE, AMI BIOS.

Anybody got a clue? Including the IBM service number?  

Thanks.

You can't move program objects to a floppy because they're abstract
objects, which can only reside in OS2.INI.  It is impossible for an
abstract object to be on a floppy, given WPS's design.

I've noticed the same thing with mem: it always reports 0K contiguous in OS/2.
However, I have a number of programs which use XMS calls directly and I can
report that the XMS 0x09 function which reports #K free and largest
contiguous blocks does report reasonable numbers, i.e. at the start of
a DOS session, both are equal to the value I set in the DOS Settings. I
can only imagine that mem is doing something un-kosher, ununusual, or
incorrect.

Al,
  
 I had the same impression, but Brian's getting his IIIP going inspired me to
try the HPPCL5a driver dated 10-17-91 that comes with W4W -- it works!  The
HPPCL5a driver that comes with Win 3.1 is dated 3-10-92 and doesn't even
install so I guess that all Win 3.1 drivers don't necessarily work.

I'm not sure this counts, but I have Finesse (from Logitech) and
it runs under geoworks.  Finesse comes with all the geoworks files
but you can't run geoworks alone.

I have had no problems with it.  I just installed it in a DOS window,
and it runs great.

Date: 15 Aug 92 20:51:52 GMT
Organization: Lule} H|gskolas datorf|rening ( Ludd )

One problem with many non-US keyboards is that the AltGr key is used when
typing "rarely used" charactes. What's bothersome with this is that WPS
interprets AltGr as the Alt key. If you're always typing things correct
and never ever miss a key or change your mind, this doesn't mean anything,
but if you, like me, do errors, you would probably find it annoying when
the system menu drops down just because you changed your mind. Earlier
I thought this problem was unavoidable, but after working some time with
(hold your breath now!) Microsoft C/C++ 7, and the PWB, I noticed that
there was a switch which enabled/disabled the AltGr key. Leaving it be
AltGr only instead of interpreting it as the Alt key, made using it a LOT
more pleasant. Couldn't such a switch be included in the WPS (or even as
a line in config.sys)?

It seems that the errors only occur after installing the latest OS2KRNL

The system stopped and returned Trap0008.  It says error at location
##0160:fff6452b-000d:a52b 60000,9084.
What is it?  Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

System: 486-50DX2 local bus, ESDI hard drive (boot disk), SCSI hard drive
        with 1542B controller, 32mb ram.

Thanks.

Well, fine, but there are two BIG drawbacks!

1.  You can't call a '800'  number internationally (not from Sweden anyway).
    Are there any other fax numbers available (800-number for FAX is rather
    unusal, isn't it?).

2.  I can't interpret phone numbers with characters, so could someone with
    the correct type of phone translate "4OS2" to digits only?

Sincerely

If you find them let me know too :=).  What I did was to run a VDM using a
dos 5 image and loaded the device drivers when the VDM was run.  Worked
like a champ for me.
