- Go to the program object's settings notebook (click on the object with
- mouse button two then select Open -> Settings). Go to the Window tab,
- and check the appropriate option on that page.
-
- If you want to make a systemwide change go to OS/2 System -> System
- Setup -> System -> Window (tab). Then change the open object behavior
- setting.

- An awfully vague question, but I think my answer to your first
- question will lead you on the way. Just go to the second page of the
- notebook for a DOS program object and click on the DOS Settings
- button. You may also edit the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files in
- the root directory for changes there.

- Do keyword searches. Print sections you think you might need (a laser
- printer helps). Check "all libraries" on keyboard searches.

- I use HyperAccess/5 (commercial) and I like it, generally. You can
- obtain a few via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, including TE/2
- and PMComm (shareware). PMTerminal, which comes with OS/2 2.0, should
- not be discounted -- it is a heck of a lot better than Windows
- Terminal.
