My message, as should have been evident but maybe wasn't, was intended
only as a comment to James Besser about switching between various open
applications by using keyboard shortcuts (because that's what I thought
he wanted to do). I didn't think it necessary to point out that MS Windows
of course doesn't run OS/2 programs. My message was not at all intended
as a comment on your OS/2 shell, about which I know next to nothing and
which I would not feel at all qualified to judge.

But let me take this opportunity to ask a different question, totally
unrelated to the above:

I am using the Yarn mail reader to read this and various other mailing lists.
Yarn normally sorts incoming mail (using some information in the header)
neatly into folders for the various lists. But for some reason, all posts
by Robert Holmgren appear *not* in the XyWrite folder but in my "private
mail" folder. I do see them and from their content I know that they belong
into the XyWrite mailing list and are not addressed to me personally, but
Yarn doesn't seem to realize this. Do others have this problem as well?

(Again, this is not meant as a criticism, and it is really no big deal,
but I am just curious.)
