That's not unexpected. 4os2 is a text mode app. It has nothing to do
with whether or not a drag and drop operation by some other unrelated app
will or will not work.

In general, PM apps are going to have a lesser ability to handle a large
number of files compares to a text mode app. Common sense says there must
be additional overhead required to keep track of the GUI aspects of
listing the files and so on.

Again, as expected. Xcopy is designed by the same MS programmers people
that brought us cmd.exe, so it follows that it too is brain-dead.

Not unexpected. 4os2 does have its limits, but I doubt you are anywhere
close with only 25K files. It would expect it might start to have trouble
once you get up to the 500K file range.

What do you think?
