    7778they were deleted from. The result can be full drive type errors. If you are
    78 deleting to free up drive space you must either empty the trashcan or use
    79 :hp6.Permanent Delete:ehp6. which deletes the files directly bypassing the trashcan.
    80 :p. &endash. Under some circumstances a trap may occur in GBM.dll when attempting to view a file.
    81 This appears to be a random occurrence. It occurs when attempting to view a binary file or a file
    82 FM2 thinks is binary. This appears to be a problem with mmioIdentifyFile misidentifying these as
    83 MultiMedia files. I have only had it happens if I use FM2's internal view for binary files.
    84 I have updated "ShowMultiMedia" which should reduce the likelihood of it happening. If you
    85 continue to have the problem turn "ShowMultiMedia" off in the settings notebook. If this is unacceptable
    86 updating GBM.dll to version 1.73 or higher (Available on Hobbes HTTP&colon.//hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?key=
    87 GBM&amp.pushbutton=Search) also helps. Designating a "Binary Viewer" on the Viewers page of the settings
    88 notebook appears to suppress the problem too.

    125126You can set a default Target directory with the :hp6.Set Target
    126 directory:ehp6. command, which FM/2 will use whenever you use the menu
     127directory:ehp6. command or on the General page of the settings notebook,
     128which FM/2 will use whenever you use the menu
    127129or accelerator key commands to move or copy file system objects.
    128130Otherwise, FM/2 will attempt to intelligently guess what you'd like the
    129131target directory to be each time based on open Directory Containers or
    130132the currently selected directory in the Drive Tree.
     133:p.
     134You can also drag and drop files onto the target directory (at the end of the
     135drive bar assuming you have show target selected on the :link reftype=hd res=97000.Monolithic page:elink.
     136in the settings notebook). You can drop a single directory on the target and FM/2 will make it the target
     137if you currently don't have one set. If you have one FM/2 will ask if you wish to change the target.
     138If you select "no" FM/2 will carry out the operation you request using the current target.

     253:p. FM/2 makes a useful replacement for OS2's workplace shell. It allow for you to manipulate eas and the OS2.ini
     254and OS2SYS.ini without the work place shell running. We recommend you setup commands and a toolbar. These
     255should include your favorite ini cleaners ea manipulation tools and basic utilities like pstat and rmview.
     256You will also want to include pmshell so you can just start the WPS when you are ready. It is easy to setup.
     257Just add the following line to your config.sys file&colon.

    251270:p.The Netdrive file system can slow FM/2 down to a crawl and even lock FM/2. This is particularly true of the FTP
    252271plugin but other plugin can also cause it. We suggest the drive flags shown below be used for any Netdrive's drive.
