Try the OS/2 ATTRIB command. First, from the commandline change to the directory
that contains the hidden files. Then, in your case, I think you want something like the
following:

ATTRIB -H *.*

The "-H" takes off the hidden extended attribute from files. Above, I've used the global
"*.*' for all files. Of course, you can name the file, if you wish. For example:

ATTRIB -H OS2.INI
