The book I used (which gave me sufficient information) was "OS/2 2.1 Workplace Shell Programming" by Stefano Maruzzi. Oddly, the book is more about PM programming than the WPS. There are critics of the book, citing errors, etc. There are other PM programming books out there, but I'm not familiar with the titles. I'm sure somebody from c.o.o.p.m will have something to say. :-) -- Frustrated with C, C++, Pascal, Fortran? Ada95 _might_ be for you!
