Good, glad to know those files are on F: and I was worrying
unnecessarily.

Programs sometimes use the OS2*.INI files to store info such as "where
the files are". If you're curious, take a look in yours and see if
either one has any COBOL "Application" entries.

I have IBM VisualAge PL/I Enterprise though it's not installed on this
particular machine.

It's been many years since I last wrote in COBOL. It was the first
language I encountered with the PICTURE statement, which seemed like a
really neat way to specify what you wanted a value to be and look like.
