yup, that's one way... the other is to add them to the "master" DOS task... the 
"master" DOS task being the default one created when OS/2 is/was installed...

 RS> It took me over 12 years to figure that one out...  Sad.  ;-)

OMG! why didn't you ask?? i've several items like that that i load that way... 
did you know that you can also "load them high" in the individual sessions 
icons??

settings notebook->session->DOS settings button->dos_device


  SIZE=0 C:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.SYS
  SIZE=0 C:\OS2\MDOS\ANSI.SYS
  SIZE=0 C:\SIO\VX00.SYS


i'll also note that the help for that item states...


  DESCRIPTION
    Use this setting to load DOS device
    drivers into this session. Enter full
    name and path, excluding DEVICE=.
    Alternatively, specify DOS devices in
    CONFIG.SYS with DEVICE= to load into
    all DOS sessions.


seems that that last line is what you just discovered ;)
