Well, you guessed my work style... one frustrattion I have with OS/2 is
that there
does not seem to be an easy way to rename folders (ie, with a right-click=
,
there is =

no selection for renaming). And, I'm sure I'm guilty of deleting from the=

command line.
And, a few times I've done major rearranging of folders among partitions =
by

click & drag as well as right-click/delete.

Anyway, I am still having trouble, and I am confused about the use of
checkini and cleanini...
I have now used both of them several times with the /C option, laboriousl=
y
going through
all the "Object handle to non-relocatable path found" messages in checkin=
i
and choosing to =

delete them (some are even on the A: floppy drive). Then I "resetwps", th=
en
right-click on my =

desktop and check the "Create archive at each system startup" and then
reboot.

STILL experiencing hangs during reboots, took 4 attempts this morning to
succeed.

When I rerun checkini, all those "Object handle.... snip ... found" items=

come up AGAIN!
Danged things are STILL THERE! Obviously I don't understand the function =
of
checkini/cleanini.
=

I've now done this three times. What does it take to get rid of that stuf=
f?
