Has anybody successfully completed the tutorial in Microsoft Word for OS/2
(version 1.1 -- the Windows look-alike that runs under Presentation Manager)
while running under OS/2 version 1.3?  I've managed to get only partly
through the tutorial when the machine starts beeping at me, and sometimes
flashing WordBASIC error messages, such as "Illegal Function Call".  I've
even had it generate a protection violation and kill the session.
Reinstallation did no good, and I'm scratching my head as to what to try 
next.  Learning Word without the tutorial will be tough, given that the
printed User's Reference is arranged dictionary style and doesn't really
teach the basics.
