- The problem is even weirder than that. The mouse driver in OS/2's
- latest version is broken, in that it doesn't understand that you might
- want to shell out to DOS from within a DOS window, as you do when, for
- example, you run a DOS app from the IDE. I'm told IBM has a fixed
- version of the mouse driver available.
