Don't laugh - I've got an OS/2 2.0 user (actually, our applications
programming manager) here at work who is new to OS/2. He asked me
how he could create new directories from within the Drives folder in
the WPS.
"Simple." says I. "Just click on the upper left button in the window of
the drive you want it on, select Create Directory, and type in the name of
the directoryyou want to create." Of course, I had up to that time used
only the'real man's' method to create directories - from the command line.
So he tries it, and guess what: no 'Create Directory' menu option. So I
look everywhere - command reference, the FAQ, tutorial, and can't find it.
If a programming manager and an network systems manager can't figure it out,
how are our regular users going to figure it out when we unleash OS/2 on an
unsuspecting public? Surely it's so obvious that we can't see the forest
for the trees!
Help!!!
