I only have the 9.1c patches, so keep in mind that our environments
are different by one patch level.

First, try using Workframe without modifying the .prf(?) file that 
Watcom supplies.  See if that works in any way, shape or form.  It's
been a while, but I had success starting with what Watcom claims to
work, and customizing from there.

As of 9.1c, the selecting 386 as your target processor doesn't work.
Use 486.  It doesn't break anything (I asked Watcom about this.  One
would assume that it will be fixed someday.  Maybe after they are 
finished with their NT effort.)

Makefile is not supported for OS/2 2.x (again according to watcom, at 
the time I asked (OS/2 2.0 GA) an I haven't asked since.)
(BTW, try finding that written down somewhere!)

To save you some more time, *don't* use wvideo from an OS/2 window
to debug PM applications.  It will hang with a breakpoint inside
the routine dispatched to by the msg dispatch loop.  Use a FULL
SCREEN OS/2 window. (They know about this too.)


You may email Watcom tech support yourself.  Their address is:
	tech@watcom.on.ca

I have mail from watcom relating to problems you described.  I can 
send it to you if you like.

Since you have the PDK (I have the released version, so again my 
version of WF is different than yours), try using the C/Set compiler.
At least it has *manuals* related to OS/2.  

Good Luck
