- I briefly read an article the other day in comp.os.os2.misc about someone's
- WPS locking up and he rebooted; a followup to that article told the person
- to put a "restart" (or something--can't remember what it was) directive
- in his config.sys that pointed to ?:\os2\pmshell.exe (or what ever), and
- that by doing this, if the WPS locked up (i.e. Mouse and keyboard input
- useless, but OS/2 is still VISIBLY running), that the WPS would restart
- itself and everything would be fine (I assume a period of time would have
- to elapse...). If anyone knows anything about this I'd appreciate some
- knowledge of it. I've had the same problem myself and its annoying to
- have to use the 3-fingered-salute to an OS which I think is great.
