OS/2 WARP Uncensored is an >excellent resource, as it is co-authored by two of the developers. I think perhaps you mean Warp Unleashed. I have just checked and indeed this is documented on page 66. I also learnt something else from another tip on this page. I quote: You can improve performance if you keep the various paths as short as possible. Many applications suggest adding the directory location to the PATH statement. Doing so might help you keep things separate but it won't help performance Don't add directorys to any path statement unless you need to be able to access the programme from the command line. If you establish a programme reference object so that you can start the programme from the desktop use the "Working directory" setting on the parameter setting page. End of quote. I post this in case there are others that were unaware of the above. I am off now to prune my enormous PATH statements... David
