I am working on setting up a DOS box in OS2 that will occaisionally create a
system error.  I would like OS2 to gracefully allow this box to close and then
restart a new box with the program running again inside of it.  I assume that
such a loop is relatively easy to do.  The problem is that when the error oc-
curs in the DOS box, a dialog box pops up in OS2 and requires user intervention
to make it go away.  Is there any way to tell OS2 to either not put up the
dialog box or to automatically just hit a return and go away?

Thanks.
