The list box shows the names of all the DOS/Windows program objects that QVDM has found. QVDM only lists abstract program objects.
You may select any number of entries by clicking on them. Click again to deselect an entry.
Use the <Select All> and <Clear All> buttons to quickly select or clear all the entries.

Use this button to write the VDM settings for all the entries selected in the list box to a text file.
If you want to add a comment to the file, type it in the box provided.

QVDM gets no notification of changes to the Workplace Shell.
If you create or delete DOS or WinOS/2 program objects, or change the global WinOS/2 settings while QVDM is running, use <Refresh> to force QVDM to update its information.

QVDM writes a file containing the name of the selected program object, the type of session it runs under (DOS Full Screen, Windows Seamless etc), and its Virtual Dos Machine settings.
In the [Settings] section, <0> and <1> may be used in place of <OFF> and <ON>. OS/2 itself is not consistent about this.
Some extra information in the file is intended for use by future versions of QVDM.

Abstract program objects exist only in the Workplace Shell.
They can launch programs, but do not represent real files (if you delete an abstract object, the program file is not affected).
If you have shadowed a physical directory or program file to the Workplace Shell, it does represent a real file and is treated differently.
At present, QVDM can only locate and work with abstract objects.
3
OS/2 records settings for an object only when they are different from the defaults. QVDM fills in the others using the current defaults.
Some default settings can be changed in CONFIG.SYS (FILES, FCBS, XMS, EMS etc), and global settings for WinOS/2 objects can changed with System Setup.
Therefore, QVDM could report different settings for the same object on two different computers.
