That's right. What I want to know is why is there a difference between an
OS/2 Command Window and every other Window on the Workspace. I mean, quite
simple. WHY???

I am used to Sun's running various windowsing systems, and there has never
been any such distinction. It is clear that a command shell has to talk much
more to the OS than any other windowed application would, but why does that
have an influence on PM type attributes like font, scrollbars etc.


Incidentally I never got the reply from Larry Salomon, only the one from
Doug Clifton. As I had to build the entire comms system at my site to get
news posting working, I would like to know if it is something at my site
or if he (for example) just sent his reply "USA" wide. You there Larry?

PS: I still like X-Windows better,

Jeff.
