Hubert, how do you know it's mulithreaded? I understand Word for OS/2 still shows the #!#!@%#$! hourglass when printing. Where are the OS/2-specific features obvious? I read that background printing (i.e. hitting CTRL-ESC while the print job is in progress) is better under Word for OS/2 in that it doesn't bring the rest of the system down to a crawl like Word for Windows. However, I'd have to say that such a feature is more of a compliment to the OS/2's ability to handle multi-tasking than it is a feature of Word for OS/2. Just curious, Frank --- ~ DeLuxe}aa #6361 ~ -- Canada Remote Systems. Toronto, Ontario NorthAmeriNet Host
