Not using a clipboard utility but added the switch anyway

Most of the time MR2I is the only open app.

Have a permanent SADUMP, FAT16, 1 Gb, but didn't have the trapdump line in
config.sys. Activated the trapdump in config.sys, and the system froze 4
or 5 times but the dump partition was always empty. Once on restarting
chkdsk stopped with a trap000d error, but that did not repeat. Finnally
got the config line, 'run=pdumpsys' to work. The path is
slightly different than in your very useful "TrapDump Reference" (thanks),
and it seems that the "exe" extension for pdumpsys has to be explicit.
The line would not execute until I wrote it as,
run=c:\os2\system\pdumpsys.exe paddr(all). Did all this before adding the
/SC switch, and suddenly MR2I seems stable?? For the last few weeks these
freezes were reliable--I could count on 2 or more every time I opened
MR2I, but none since adding those two lines to config.sys.

Is it inadvisable to leave trapdump activated?
Why didn't I ever get a dump file? The HD is SCSI with partitions (in
physical order): bootmgr, C:(OS),J:(maintOS),D:(JFS), E:(SADUMP,
FAT),...,(4 more, all JFS)

Wish I knew what I fixed in case it develops again.
