I've just recently gotten IBM OS/2 v1.2 and have had a problem printing
files from the File Manager.  When I follow the procedure to pick up an
icon with the mouse and drop it onto the Print Manager icon, I am properly
prompted for the queue on which to print the file , but after that File 
Manager crashes with a segmentation violation (but very nicely doesn't
crash the whole system).

Printing works fine from the OS/2 prompt, and dropping files into other
programs by dragging icons (such as installing a .EXE file in a group)
also works fine.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Is it fixed in the famous November
30 update?  Am I perhaps just doing something wrong?
