 DESCRIPTION-

        I started using OS/2 with Warp 3 and now use v4.0.  There are
        nagging bugs that are present in the WPS that have been around
        for some time (I've heard they were even present in v2.0!) that
        should be fixed.  These are the bugs/problems that I can think
        of right off the bat.  Sometimes, when multple folders,
        programs, and/or windows are open, the system all of a sudden
        doesn't let you close any of them.  The best you can do is
        minimize them.  If you open another folder, program, and/or
        window after this starts, then you will not be able to close
        them as well.  Sometimes, the problem just seems to go away and
        you are able to close everything.  Sometimes though, a reboot
        is required.  Sometimes when I wish delete files, if I have a
        lot of files in a directory/folder, I will right click and
        select the select all option to hightlight all the files.
        Then I will drag all the files to the shredder to delete them.
        Most of the files will get deleted.  However, sometimes some
        files will stay.  If I select these files again and try to
        delete them, the shredder will not delete them.  What is
        actually happening is the file(s) got deleted however the icon
        for the file is still present!  If I refresh the view in the
        folder then the icon disappears!  It takes entirely too long
        to delete files from the WPS if a lot of files are present.
        It's faster to go to an OS/2 prompt and type del *.* to erase
        them!  Fix this.  Sometimes, icons just disappear.  No idea
        why.  FIX THE SIQ!!  To all the above, I can't think of any
        pattern that could be useful to repeating these.  Hope this
        helps!  C-ya
