It seems that the Novell menu users have to remember certain guidelines on
when they can leave the menu and when they cannot.  That's ridiculous.
My impression with the followup to the discussion on GO???.BAT and
RESTART.??? is that the only way out is to get different menu facilities
from other sources (I may have missed some followup messages). But why
Novell shipped such a buggy program with its netware? I think Novell should
provide a decent menu facility along with its netware.

I have another problem with Novell netware which is a hundred times worse
than GO???.BAT and RESTART.???.  Under each user's directory, a hidden
directory call DELETED is created by Netware. This directory contains many
junk files named DELETED.???. They accumulate a lot faster than GO???.BAT and
RESTART.???. I really don't understand what is the purpose of these files.
They just pile up there until the system bombs out.  It took me days to
delete these junk files. Can someone help me on this bussiness?  I will
be very grateful if you can get rid of them.
