Is this true ? I have been looking for a way to set all OS/2
CMS windows to blue-on-grey, and OS2INIT.CMD sounds like an
ideal way of doing it.
I tried putting OS2INIT.CMD in the root directory, but it doesn't
have any effect. There is nothing in the help about OS2INIT.
Could you elaborate further ?

Paul.
