O.K., so I finally did it. I installed OS/2 on my system.
After a few days of playing with it, there are still a couple
of things I can't seem to figure out:

1. It only recognizes drive c:, and tells me I have an invalid drive
   assignment if I try to access any of my other partitions. I have
   10 partitions (done in DOS), and they are recognized when I boot up
   in DOS (I use OS/2 version 1.1 w/Presentation Manager & the "Dualboot"
   option). Is there an OS/2 command equivalent to the DOS command 
   "lastdrive" or something to that affect?

2. I cannot figure out how to print in Presentation Manager. It seems to
   me that one should be able to print what is on the screen, but this option
   does not seem to be available. Maybe there is a utility or a program that 
   will do this?

Pleas don't tell me to RTFM, since I don't have one yet. We are currently
releasing our own version of OS/2, and a manual is on order. I would like 
to have these questions answered ASAP, therefore this posting.

Any helps, hints, pointers, etc. appreciated.
