	     Try the following. Rather than putting a line in your  
   STARTUP.CMD file, simply make a shadow of the icon for Deskpic in you  
   STARTUP folder. I believe that you press CTRL and tag with the RMB and 
   then drag it into the STARTUP folder. 

	     Then double click on either icon, and the top row of your  
   screen should change to a menu bar. Click on the top left corner and  
   go into Options to set up time and screen savers. Don't use the  
   animated backgrounds, they seem to give OS/2 the pip! 


1.  The animated backgrounds seem to work just fine for me, at least with
    GA+SP.

2.  The difference between STARTUP.CMD and the Startup Folder, according to
    the SP README, is that STARTUP.CMD is run before the WPS is started, while
    the Startup Folder would have to be afterward.  It explicitly warns that
    this may cause problems for programs that depend on PM or WPS functions.
