Standard DOS Settings

Figure "The DOS Settings Dialog of the Settings Notebook"

The standard DOS settings which affect the operation of virtual device drivers supplied with OS/2 Version 2.0 are described on the following pages. The settings are grouped according to the general DOS system function to which they apply.

DOS settings may be changed in either of two ways:

  • Settings which are described as settable "at VDM creation only", may only be changed prior to starting the VDM. If the DOS application is defined as an object under the Workplace Shell, this is done by selecting the DOS Settings button from the Session page in the application's Settings notebook.

  • Settings which are described as settable at any time may be set in the manner described above, or they may be changed while an application is running in a VDM, using the DOS Settings.. option from the system menu.

    Note that certain settings may be changed in both of the above ways.
