	I had an interesting problem this weekend.  If I have
more than about 130 icons in opened groups in program manager,
then pm will not redraw itself correctly.  I have tried this
with the video drivers supplied with my OPDII and the standard
windows supplied VGA drivers.  Does anyone else have this
problem?  

	Steps to create problem:

	1) Create 7 groups in PM. I have 4 groups of 25 icons
	   and 3 groups of about 10 icons.

	2) Open all groups. 

	3) Make PM into an icon and then open it.

	Now, you should have the title bar of PM and frame, but
nothing else. (Well it's more like it's invisible with the back-
ground showing through.)  If you iconify one of the groups then
problem goes away.

	Here's my system:

	DTK 386-25 4Mb 64K cache
	Orchid ProDesigner II
	NEC 3D
	QEMM 5.11 (for EMM)
	DOS 3.3
	WINDOWS 3.0
