Let's see if this reader still works...  :-)

I've done that before, but I don't remember where those are anymore...

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

ML> OMG! why didn't you ask??

I'd worked around it.  Most of the time I'm launching specific programs
directly from 4OS2, so I never see the prompt, and even when I launch a
dedicated fullscreen VDM I'm usually in QuikMenu or something.

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

Not sure if I knew about that one or not.  Probably not.

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

Yes.  Online help?  That's a concept.  ;-)
