Hi,

Is there a quick and dirty way to make all my existing Windows program objects
to have the same settings? 

Thanks in advance.

Dennis

I haven't tried this, but it should work  (I think it works with Warp only):

1. Open the settings notebook for the windoze program that has
    the settings that you want to copy to the others. (The "master" so
    to speak.)

2.  Select winos2 settings and select "all DOS and winos2 settings".

3.  Select "print", then select "encoded file" and enter a file into
    which the system will write the settings.  This will store the
    settings for that program in an "encoded file".

4.  Open the settings notebook for the program that you want to change
    and again selece "all DOS and winos2 settings"

5.  This time, select "load" and type the name of the encoded file which
    contains the saved settings.  Then close the settings notebook.  This should
    copy the saved settings to the program.

6.  Repeat 4 and 5 for each windoze program that you want to change.

Learn REXX :)  I really can't think of any other quick solutions (and haven't
put enough thought into it to stumble on the complications of a REXX script
to do it).

If you look in the "System Setup" folder there is an icon labelled 
"WIN-OS/2 Setup".  If you change the WIN-OS/2 settings here, they will 
affect all future WIN-OS/2 program objects.

I guess you could change the settings you're interested in and create new 
program object for the WIN-OS/2 programs via "Add Programs" in "System 
Setup".

Hope it helps!
