- Try the online help when your in that (menu addition) section. I found that
- there are a number of commands that should fix you up. I don't have access to
- my OS/2 machine right now but it's something like - to get rid of the pause and
- prefacing the command with DOS will let you call a dos session direct.

- If you can't find it let me know and I'll look it up directly for you.
