I think that this problem is beginning to occur all of the time.  But I first
noticed it while using Word Perfect.

Anyway, I had been using Word Perfect in a seamless window without any 
problems.  Then, I must have done something...I don't know what.  But, now
I hear Windows start, then WordPerfect comes up and I can process my words
with no problem.  The problem occurs when I go to close.  The program will
appear to close and the icon will disappear from the bottom of the WPS.
However, if I try to shut down I get a Trap E.  And if I load FM/2 and choose
kill the process, FM/2 tells me that "kernel" is running and allows me to kill
it.

This problem is beginning to happen with any program that I run as a single 
program whether it be seamless or full-screen.  The only time the problem does
not occur is if I load Win-OS/2(I'm using OS/2 for Windows) and then try to 
execute the program.  Then I have no problems and the program exits perfectly
and when I exit Windows I can even the Windows closing...

If anyone has any ideas as to what is going on or who might be able to help me,
I'd be appreciative...  My system is described below.

486DX/2-66, 20Megs of RAM, 2 IDE drives, SB16-SCSI2, Music Quest PC-MIDI card,
2 floppies, Stealth 24...  All IRQ's are different...

Thanks,
Talib
