- Great Idea, except I didnt see any 'teletype printer' anywhere, or any
- printer driver that would print to a 'text only' printer. Have you
- actually tried this? If so, please give more specific information.

- In general (I'm note claiming this is the case here, but):
-
- Please don't post a 'solution' you aren't really sure works, or a
- wild suggestion that just came to your head. Lots of people are going
- to waste time trying to actually follow on this. I have seen several
- such cases in this group (again, if this one isn't, I apologize).

- STILL LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION TO SEARCHING THE HELP/MANUALS !!!
-
- example: I just installed an ATI Vantage card w/mouse w/3 buttons.
- how do I configure OS2 to use the 3rd button? Someone posted about
- using it, so it must be possible. But where? Searching the help
- in the usual places (selective install/mouse/drivers) showed nothing,
- as did a search for '3 button' or 'button 3' ... Damn.
