[comp.windows.ms] win 3.0 bugs? FileMgr, Terminal

pcb@gator.cacs.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (07/16/90)

hmmmm....
Are these bugs or features?  I am running win3 on an IBM PS/2 Model 70 with
3MB Memory and a 6MB permanent swapfile, VGA 8513 Monitor , 60MB HD and
1.44 MB 3.5" FD.   MS DOS 3.3

1) Terminal - I'll be darned if the line wrap option does not continuouslly
turn back on when I am connected via rs232 and the modem.  I can't get
it to mess up on demand though!  What gives?  I did not see this feature
listed in the manual.

2) 1- Start the file manager.  
   2- Make sure a diskette is NOT in the diskette drive a:
   3- Click on the file and drag it to the a: drive icon  (a copy)
   4- error  Cancel or Retry (the error that diskette can't be accessed)
   5- Use keyboard or mouse to select Cancel or Retry
   6- ### CA-BOOM ### back to MSDOS and a locked up machine
       This happens every time!

   This first occured when I realized I hadn't put the diskette in.

   Does this happen to you?  Is it possible to be more IBM compatible?
   Of course, as long as the diskette is present no problems.
