Sorry if this appears twice.... News reader probelms, y'know...

Most of the Windows applications I run under Win-OS/2 seem to work OK, 
however I have a particular problem with Word 6.0a:  Every so often the 
pointer freezes then gets freed-up after a short delay (OK, I can cope 
with that), but then sometimes it freezes & never comes back.  I can't 
get the PC to respond at all & have to ctrl-alt-del & start all over 
again.  

One odd thing I discovered was that the system info, as reported by 
Word's 'Help about...' seems to reckon I've got a swap file of 4194300 KB 
(and there's no disk of that size anywhere on my system!) which certainly 
seems screwy.

I'm running OS/2 warp v3.0 with FixPak 17 installed on an Elonex 60MHz 
Pentium with 16Mb RAM.  Word runs from a mapped Novell network drive in a 
seamless Win-OS/2 session on the OS/2 desktop.  In case it's relevant the 
PC has a SMC8000 network card & a Panasonic CD-ROM drive.

Any ideas as to which config or whatever lines to fiddle with would be 
much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
