- Why is it that so few of the windows in the WPS remember their size/positions?
- This is irking me. Every time I start the VIEWer or use HELP in an OS/2
- session, the stupid help windows take up my entire 1024x768 desktop. This
- is really annoying and obnoxious of these programs to do so. I have tried
- holding shift while I resize the windows, but it still doesn't remember.
- Is there a way?
-
- BTW - my OS2SYS.INI file had grown to 2.5 megs long, I ran cpyini on it
- and the new one was 150k long. I rebooted with the disks and replaced the
- 2.5 megger with the 150k-er and everything works perfectly. I thought some
- of you would benefit from this little tidbit. I wonder why the heck OS/2
- doesn't manage the INI file itself?? Why should we need cpyini at all?
