so much for the WPS then ;-)

agreed, WPS doesn't need this though...

yes and no. Mozilla IS an application... Until common Gecko libraries is
available for ALL apps it's not part of the OS. I'd really like to see
WPS objects being able to use Gecko/plugins/flash... that would be SOOO
COOOL. But it's not there, and may never be.

When creating an object in Warp 4 (fp5? plus) you can specify
environments in the object setup string...
"EXENAME=X:\MOZILLA\MOZILLA.EXE;SET BEGINLIBPATH=X:\MOZILLA;"

Maybe if a) no '.' in libpath and b) CONFIG.SYS not updated, then the
WPS object could be set the way above.

Mike, I appreciate all the work you do. Really I do... but what I'm
TRYING to get away from is the crappy way one has to REBOOT to use a
simple application (that REALLY doesn't require it)
This IS an issue for everyday endusers ... I just don't know if I'd call
OS/2 users the "everyday" kind ;-)
