- I've been having some strange problems when switching from full-screen DOS
- programs to window. I've noticed that sometimes OS/2 won't even recognize
- the ALT-HOME combinations (even though it hasn't been turned off), and I am
- unable to go from full screen to window and vice-versa. One time when I was
- working in WordPerfect 5.1 I successfully switched to window mode with ALT-HOME,
- then was unable to switch back to full screen using the same keys. Has anyone
- else experienced this problem. By the way, I'm using OS/2 with the "golden" CSD
- installed. Also, can someone explain to me why IBM decided to make the ALT-HOME
- function only available for DOS text programs and not OS/2 counterparts? To me,
- it is ludcrious for DOS apps to have more flexibility than OS/2 programs that
- run in the command line environment. Well enough rambling...
