- That's not it. Sometimes I can get OS/2 to shut down after a refresh, other
- times it just won't. This is similar to the icons which stay cross hatched
- bug. Anyway, OS/2 isn't out of memory, since I have 20 Mb installed, and
- OS/2 sees 16 Mb. Anybody think that a new version of GT16MB will come out
- which will work for me? My ISA machine has an AMI BIOS which is reporting
- all 20 Mb. Oh well, I don't plan on keeping the extra 4 Mb anyway. It is
- useless to me (although I could use it's worth in money).
