Hi folks! I may have just missed it in my perusal of the information available, but here goes. Is there a way to change the global defaults for OS/2 WPS windows. For instance, I very much prefer "flowed" and "always sorted" options in nearly all windows which present groups of objects (icons, file, et cetera). However, I'm growing very annoyed about the lack of any means to establish these parameters on a global basis. Instead, I find myself having to open the settings for each window and sub-window and check these items individually. Even then, these don't always appear to be "sticky". That is, if the window is closed and re-opened, I have to set them all over again! By the bye - I have a suitable punishment for the brain-dead programmer that decided that the default display would be in random order. He/she should be forced to locate information/files/icons/objects in large collections for the rest of his/her days. The valued of ordered lists will soon become apparent! Robert W.
