Peter,

I've been monitoring all this. Get and install UniMaint. The latest
version is 5.10.15. It works well and without a hitch. Use it
periodically to clean (UniMaint calls it "repair") your OS2*.INI files.
They pick up and retain configuration data that eventually becomes out
of date. You need UniMaint to clean it out and insure good performance
of Warp. Also, using UniMaint you can back up the OS*.INI, CONFIG.SYS
and desktop files periodically.
