welcome to the club! :-)

I run it in a DOS box (off an nfs-networked drive).  It's no problem.
I don't think I did any customising of the dos box either, except that
I use a windowed box (see below) because it's nicer. Of course, I'd rather see
an OS/2 version of the program, which request I have already mailed to Avi.  

To make using it nicer, I recommend that you get the freeware program TWCP. 
(ftp-os2.cdrom.com is the internet place to look /pub/os2/... I don't know
where.)  You can start this at boot (stick it, or a shadow of it, in your
startup folder) and this allows you to do _easy_ copy and paste into and from
text windows.  I have defined ctrl-left-mouse-buttone to be select-copy and
right-mouse-button to be paste in text windows.  This allows you to do
EDIT-->COPY IN EN+ and, from the clipboard, select and copy the text there (a
reference to insert into a document) and then you can paste it into a
wordprocessor either by mb2 (for a text window - like the WP5.0 for OS/2 that I
am _still_ running, sigh) or else by the standard PM mechanisms for a 
graphical window (like AmiPro, or WP5.2 for OS/2, or Describe or...)
