I'll try that.

Well, a number of *little* things have been broken for me in W4 for quite some time, and others appear to be in ECS. You might call them "quirks." The question is, 'are they fixable ?,' 'if so, How ?,' and sometimes, perhaps, 'are they worth fixing ?' None (like the display of folders where there
should be display of drives) is critical, and the functional ones all seem to have workarounds. I almost never make use of a windowed Win-OS/2 session, and consequently would not miss it terribly much. The corollary question is, "Are these symptomatic of some more important underlying problem . . .
and one better dealt with than not ?"
