- The situation appears to be cleaned up a lot with OS/2 2.1. If you
- read through the online user manual that comes on the CD-ROM in INF
- form (use VIEW to read it), there's now some discussion of using the
- INI files to copy your desktop to another machine. I suppose the same
- principle may now apply to changes in version -- once you're up to
- 2.1, when released.

- specificity.
