Browser in E/D 1.99Q is still unstable



I've been finding that about 80% of the hangs I see here in E/D ware
caused by the browser app in Executor/DOS, usually just before it creates
the shortcut icons in the icon bar, or just before it displays the
contents of a folder.

Most freezes occur during the startup sequence, and I've found that
sometimes I have to restart E/D 5-6 times (and have it freeze 5-6 times)
before it is successfully able to read and display the desktop.

Hopefully this is being (or will be) addressed before the real release
of Executor, as the shell should *not* be the source of problems.  It
makes it frustrating when I'm trying to test a program here because I
often can't get far enough into Executor to START a new program!

FWIW, this occurs on two separate installations of 1.99Q here, and on
two different operating systems (PC-DOS 6.3 and OS/2 Warp 3.0 w/FP 17).

           4 + 6 = 10.    1 + 1 = 10.    5 + 3 = 10.    7 + 9 = 10.
