- Curious? My expectations were that all desk-top objects would be "in"
- the OS/2 Desktop and I was surprised when deleting a plotter object to
- see that it was reported to be "in" nowhere. I'll check it again
- tonight (home system OS/2, work still MS Win 3.1).
-
- I have been using a file-manager utility that is "in development".
- Occasionly it has messed up the directory tree, but I don't think I ever
- tried to move or copy any thing other than files. I may have another
- bug report to fill out for the file-manager.
-
- Thanks for your report Thomas.
-
- I did get a chance to look at a draft of the Red Book Vol 5 (Printer
- Support), but did not find anything in the index or table of contents
- that dealt with nowhere.
-
- Anyone from Boca here to tell us?
