Thanks Harry,

I got the association editor, and it shows that JPG files are associated
with PM View Pro.

The JPG files are represented by icons that show the JPG Logo, and the
properties notebook shows that they are listed as JPG.

Yet under OS/2 Warp, double clicking on the icon causes it to start
loading, but then it stops and just shows a blank window.

Under eCS, it loads just fine without a problem. I tried copying the
GBM.DLL file from eCS to OS/2 Warp, but that didn't make any difference.

Thanks for jumping in. Let me know if you think of anything else.

Sandy
