Binar makes a multiple desktop utility called Skyscraper.  Very nice as it
allows as many desktops as you like.  It is especially nice when you have lots
of PM programs open and hate navigating overlapping windows.  You can
an enormous amount of virtual desktops.

Object Desktop is a lot better than Dashboard, IMHO.  16 virtual desktops
possible, a wide range of program launching options, and much more.  For more 
info:

Also: for one-click launching, OS/2 comes with a LaunchPad.  You can
also drag and drop programs to the RMB pop-up menu for the desktop.

Get a Icon editor that can pull icons from Windows programs (many shareware available)
or try new Video driver for your chipset. Mine did that w/ a Trident card and I just got new drivers.

Go to the Settings notebook for Win-OS/2 (System Setup for all session default)
And set MOUSE EXCLUSIVE ACCESS to ON..

There is a new shell for OS/2 and win95 by a company called witchcraft.

I read it on the ZDNET's web page.  The company sponsored the Fleewood Mac
concert at COMDEX and gave out free copies.  It's written up in the COMDEX
summaries.  I do not have the info handy so I cannot post the URL.

There are new shell products coming out and they are dual OS/2 -- win95.

I inquired among others yahoo for all of this, but to no avail, i.e. no
trace of new shell, let alone dual ones... :-(

Could you be more specific, or better yet, post a pointer to witchcraft?
