- Hi there.
-
- I was adding some program to my OS/2 desktop pop-up menu, and I have
- a few questions.
-
- For example, I added CMD.EXE to the pop-up menu. So, I can now
- MB2 click on the desktop,and the menu pops up. 'OS/2 Window' is there for
- me to select. Thew is MUCH quicker that Goinf OS/2 System|Command Prompts|
- OS/2 Window. See?
-
- WELL, I was wanting to add more. I've adding Reversi and Sticky Pad.
-
- No hitches there. HOWEVER, I was wanting to add a Windows communications
- program, and a DOS communications program, too.
-
- But now when I select the Windows comm program, it launches full screen WINOS2
- before launching the apps (I WANT it seamless), and when I select the
- DOS comm program, it lauches FULL SCREEN DOS before it launches the DOS app.
- I want THAT in a DOS _window_.
-
- So does anyone know how to:
-
- 1) Let it know I want seamless Windows program from the pop-up menu
-
- 2) Let it know I want a WINDOWED DOS session for the DOS app
-
- 3) Also: How do I lauch a command.com or something and have it by default
- come up as a windowed DOS box?
-
- Thanks a lot,this customization seems really cool, but needs ironing out.
