- I had that too. There is an entry called ActiveHandles or something. It's
- value on my system was Handles1 (or something) but I had Handles, Handles0,
- 1 and 2. I deleted all but Handles1 and everytihng still works great. I
- tried deleting handles1 and/or activehandles and the system would not boot
- at all.

- My os2sys.ini is now down to 70K. My os2.ini is 700K however but that is
- because of the 75 or so 6K icon entries that are in it (I have icons for
- most of the PDK documentation in a folder on my desktop)
