- Well, there are a couple alternatives. One is to use a device driver
- written by someone in the OS/2 user group in Britain. It pauses
- CONFIG.SYS processing until you press ESC. That device driver is
- available from the OS/2 Shareware BBS (703-365-4325), but I'm afraid
- I've forgotten the filename. (A keyword search on "ESC" or
- "CONFIG.SYS" should find it.) If you do retrieve it, please send it
- along to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (place it in /pub/uploads). We have an
- informal gateway from that BBS to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, but occasionally
- things slip through, so it may not have made it to ftp-os2 yet.
-
- The second possibility is to use the ShiftRun utility, available via
- anonymous ftp from software.watson.ibm.com. With a bit of tinkering
- (not too much, actually), you'll get the effect you're looking for
- (although ShiftRun does a lot more).
