Aha! A kindly Microsoft employee finally told me that the glaring blue bar that appears at the top of the screen in text mode can be gotten rid of with the command: HELP OFF For my next question, does anyone have: 1. A screen blanker for OS/2 2. A ram disk for OS/2

A screen blanker for OS/2 > 2. A ram disk for OS/2 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.

It is my personal 286-based machine running KA9Q. All the files are in /pub and are OS/2 PD software. I'll be moving the files to be available on another machine in about a month (ie by about 19th Jan 90) within our site here in Oregon State University. I'll keep this newsgroup informed when that happens. ---- Harish Pillay harish@ece.orst.edu Oregon State University
