The Drives object is OK if you use the WPS was designed to be used (i.e.
create shadows of the folders you use a lot). That way you are not living
in the Drives object.

The standard OS/2 command line is brain dead. There a plenty of
alternatives. I use 4OS2 (see Hobbes)

There are tons of alternative file managers for OS/2. Some are even
actively maintained. You just have to look around. I use ZTBold (see
www.ztree.com) for text mode file management. Another text mode file
manager is FMT (see Hobbes). For GUI filemanagers there's FileStar and
FM/2.
