Come on, it's a bit ignorant, isn't it. I want to work with CW the same way I 
do with other applications. If you don't support it yet, OK - accepted. But 
one important advantage of OS/2 (among many others) is document centered 
working. I allways do so, never starting a program and then load a document. 
There are associations for certain documents and double clicking on it works 
perfectly. No need to know, where the program is located. You can start 
working an a file imediatly (<- ...sorry for my bad spelling I'm German).
Thats more than convenience, thats the way I work, and I dont want to change 
the way I work just because of software incababilities.
I'd love to see You supporting the OS/2 basics, and think it will be no 
problem for skillful programmers like You.
