I am using a Western Digital 8514/A card in my clone 836 machine.  It seems
as if my OS2.INI file was never properly updated when I installed the
8514/A; the symptom is that the Control Panel box is too small, and 
portions of the control panel aren't visible.  (And this is NOT a 
resizable box.)

If I boot under DOS, rename the os2.ini file to (eg) os2.jun, and then
reboot, I get an appropriately-sized control panel, but (surprise, surprise)
the rest of my environment is blown away.  So, the question is: how does
one modify an OS2.INI file in a sensible way?  What does (for instance)
makeini.exe do?  What is the purpose of the os2ini.rc file?  Could I 
modify this and have changes made to it show up in my os2.ini file?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
