Shouldn't that read "versions for Win 3.x, 95, and NT (all GUI-only), and
for OS/2"? It works great here from the XyWrite command line, e.g.:

 o2 WSOS2.EXE -s Frank*duplicitous \*.cmd >> deceit.cat.1994-97 
 o2 /h WSOS2 -s "deliberately misled" \*.pop |more 

Or you can use PULLOS2 to import the results into a XyWindow:

 p2 WSOS2.EXE "underling blurts out the truth"" \*.txt 

Using the latest (10/8/97) version of PULLOS2 http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/#pullos2,
you can import results into the current window (background operation;
fast):

 p2t/ WSOS2.EXE -s "empty promises"" \*.pop
