I briefly read an article the other day in comp.os.os2.misc about someone's
WPS locking up and he rebooted; a followup to that article told the person
to put a "restart" (or something--can't remember what it was) directive
in his config.sys that pointed to ?:\os2\pmshell.exe (or what ever), and
that by doing this, if the WPS locked up (i.e. Mouse and keyboard input
useless, but OS/2 is still VISIBLY running), that the WPS would restart
itself and everything would be fine (I assume a period of time would have
to elapse...). If anyone knows anything about this I'd appreciate some
knowledge of it. I've had the same problem myself and its annoying to
have to use the 3-fingered-salute to an OS which I think is great.

Thanks.
