 DESCRIPTION-

        OS/2 System Editor behavior:  This is a rather annoying behavior
        in OS/2, which should be fixed.  Suppose you double click on a
        file to read it, and it's not readable.  So then the OS/2 System
        Editor Warning box comes up, saying, "The editor detected
        embedded NULL characters as it read the file.  If you wish to
        continue, the NULLs will be transformed into spaces; otherwise,
        the file will not be loaded."  You're presented with 3 button
        choices, "Continue to Load," "Stop Loading file," and "Help."
        You chose "Stop Loading File."  You know what happens next?
        The System Editor starts anyway (Albeit, it starts blank.)  How
        about a simple "kill process" call, so that, if you select
        "Stop Loading File," the System  Editor (or whatever default
        text editor you set up for OS/2) does not load.
