- Easy to do, if you start CMD.EXE as your Workplace Shell. You can
- launch the WPS as an app, and shut it down again, without affecting any
- other running apps. I do it all the time.

- The WPS shell really is just another app (though, IMO, IBM does not
- provide enough support for running without the beast--something I hope
- that they consider changing in a future release.)
-
- IBM! Major missing feature alert!! I need some way to save the state
- of the WPS *without* shutting down the system!!!
