They don't shut down properly. I too have to kill them--I use PM Patrol. I've not worried about it much since my configuration is byzantine (currently running 46 processes and 195 threads according to PM Patrol), and I don't run seamless Win-OS2 sessions very often. I do *NOT* have the fastload option enabled. Gerald W. Wilkins gwilkins@unl.edu
