However, I bet that MOST of your applications will run in the DOS box of OS/2. I know, because even most of my games work in the DOS box! (I play games while taking backups onto diskettes) You CAN use the HPFS (you can format a drive HPFS,and be able to access that drive from the DOS box), but if you switch to an OS/2 screen and create some files with long names, you won't be able to see those files when you switch to DOS box - your applications won't be able to use the long-named-files.
