o.k. OS2 gurus, here is a one (actually two) for you.

* From the books I have which are not for version 2.0 (mainly for 1.1/2), it
  seems their is no way a process can be forked from the command line (i.e
  cmd.exe) and open a PM window while having stdin/out in contact.
	If process A is forked from cmd.exe and process A DosExecPgm
  process B in EXEC_BACKGROUND, then process B can open a PM window while
  process A still have stdin/out. The two processes A and B can then talk
  via pipes.
	The above works but, as expected, is not fast. Is there a way to
  do the above with a single process? That is, can a single process in
  OS2 2.0 open a PM window and have stdin/out intact? Can it be done with a
  thread creation instead of a new process? Sample code will be appreciated.

* What is the fastest way of drawing horizontal lines? Is GpiLine optimized
  for horizontal lines? Is it the OS2 kernel that draw the lines (DDA)
  or is it the display driver?

thanks

Gershon
