I have just purchased ColorWorks V.2 , CD only variant.

The drawing, filling, effects are brilliant and very easy to use,
but the myriad of settings menus can be annoying.

What is really annoying and worse is ........

You cannot click on a file created by CWorks and autoload that
file into the program. You can change the settings menu for the file
and associate CWorks with it.  CWorks will then load but not the graphic.

Similarly with CWorks open, you cannot drag and drop a file into the
program and have it open the file.

And worst of all no drag and drop to the printer.

Surely all the hype about 256 levels of undo & multi threading, the 
Killer App  etc.  etc.is all a load of crap if the basic concepts of OS/2
 ( read drag and drop ) are ignored.
If anyone knows how to get these features working in CWorks I would 
be greatful.
