4OS2 is now my default command processor. A dir command on a folder with many files now gives me a listing where before it wouldn't, but I still get an insufficient memory error when I try to drag a folder with too many subfolders and files to an RSJ-attached CDROM. There's nothing in the RSJ manual addressing this problem. An xcopy from a 4os2 command line doesn't complete either, but the 4os2 command copy /s does the job--all 25000 files in about 40 folders totaling over 200 Mbytes. Is there a way have 4os2 operate with drag and drop from one tree or icon view to another on the desktop?

My problem installing 4os2 was that I kept editing a libpath line in config.sys that had been rem'd out instead of the active line. Amazing how long it took to spot that.
