- BJ..I have a few programs which I would like to preform a MODE CO80,40 when
- BJ..I start them from a program icon. Is there a way for me to do this
- BJ..without typing it in everytime? I know I could create a .cmd file for the
- BJ..programs, but I'd rather not, as this will just create more and more files.
- BJ..I know I can write one .cmd file and take all arguments, but I don't want to

- Yes, get 4OS2 by JP software. It (like 4DOS) has two special batch files
- called 4START and 4EXIT which are run on (guess what) starting and
- exiting from a shell. Within 4START I have the following;
-
- IF "%_PTYPE" == "AVIO" C:\OS2\MODE CO80,43
-
- Which basically make 4OS2 run in 43 line mode if it's being started up in
- an OS/2 window. Try it - you'll never go back to crappy old CMD.EXE
- afterwards.
