How can I prevent the system from showing the full screen error msg
when I try to read from some floppy drive which is empty. This is of
course under PM. Thank you.

    here before, 'cause if it isn't an action replay, what else could it be.

I you have OS/2 1.2, you should put the line "AUTOFAIL=YES" (or was it
"SET AUTOFAIL=YES").  Is documented in the on line command reference anyhow.

Or if you write your own application, you should set BIT 13 in the open mode
flag.

I was interested, but couldn't find where it was documented in my copy
of IBM 1.2. Could you give more details of exactly where, please?

The command is 

AUTOFAIL=YES 
and it should be placed in the C:\CONFIG.sys file

after a reboot, then all Hard Errors 
(e.g., Trap D's ) will be automatically failed.

That is, the HARDERR process will not put
up the HARD ERROR popup.  Instead a Trap message is
send to stderr.
