Disclaimer: This question regards 2074 device and PCOMM 3270 session
icons - so it related to mainframe. <g>

Now the problem:
I need to configure several PCOMM sessions on 2074 desktop (local ones).
(Caution: I already configured 2074 as a "server", now I'm talking about
*client* sessions).
I created several files.WS with definitions I need, I copied those files
to PCOMOS2\PRIVATE directory.
So far so good.
Now I have problem with OS/2. I want to create icons on the dekstop. In
Windows I can create shortcut. AFAIK in OS/2 it is called shadow (am I
right?).
Q1: How can I created shortcut to the .WS profile ?

Second question: when I click on .WS file it is opened by editor - not
by PCOMM.

Q2: How can I convince OS/2 to use PCOMM for .WS files?

You are correct, those are called shadows. I think you need to right-click
when you are in the folder/desktop where you want to create a new shadow,
and click on create->shadow and create a shadow of your *.ws file.

You need to right click on PCOMM.exe and click on settings. Then there
should be a tab called 'associations' that is where you enter the *.ws type to
be associated with this program.

Hope this helps, done mostly from memory.
