Specifically, the glaring bar is caused by the $i parameter in the line
prompt $i[$p]
in HELP.CMD. Customizing the prompt without $i also makes this beast die.
Screen blanker? Haven't heard of any. Ram disk? One comes with OS/2.
In my CONFIG.SYS I have:
device=c:\os2\vdisk.sys 256
to allocate a 256K ram disk. Handy for a destination for my TMP variable.
