Has anybody successfully got an OS/2 full screen to switch over to
the monochrome monitor.  I would like to be able to type in

   mode mono

and be able to switch over to a monochrome monitor.  I was wondering if
anybody has successfully written a program to do this.. and could I get
the code for it.  I have tried many times and failed many times.

Thank you,
Jim Huang

Yes.

Could you specify more exactly what your problem is (error message,
strange behavior etc.) ?

There were some problems in earlier releases of 1.2 which were fixed in
XR4053 (?). One can work around this bug with a small program to be used
instead of mode mono. If there is interest .. I can post that little
piece of code (I already did this some time ago).
