ANSW. TO #4347 (NEW DV)

[JORDAN FOX]

Looks like I'll be answering my own question. After a half-hour on the phone
with Quarterdeck tech. support today, I've found out about some changes in the
new DesqView (2.34, vs. the approx. 18 month-old 2.26 that I had been using).
The main thing is settings for XY in the Advanced Setup -- via CP, or Change A
Program, in the DV Menu. Previously, I had both "Keyboard Conflict" and
"Protection Level" settings at (1). This is probably neither what they
recommended, or what you recommended, but what I found necessary in my own
usage. Whereas (4) had been a maximal setting for "Keyboard Conflict", it is
now said to be only 25%. In order to do away with my problem of items not
loading at all in Startup, or being partially disregarded, we had to change the
setting to (8). This wasn't in their tech. data-
base yet; we just hit upon it by trial and error. They said that "Protection
Level" should go to (0), though I may put that back to (1) if I run into any
problems. There was also an adjustment to the QEMM line in Config.Sys, but I
think that's an efficient use-of-memory issue, not directly related. It's also
a good idea to make sure the "Maintain Separate Shift States?" in *overall*
Setup does not get overwritten -- i.e., remains set to "Y"es -- when you
install the upgrade. Anyway, this gives you some new info for the next revision
of the DV Appl. Note.
