Since WarpIN associates itself with WPI files this will start WarpIN with FM2*.WPI as the parameter. :note. If you double click on FM2UTILS*.WPI instead of FM2*.WPI, you will only be able to install the FM/2 Utilities. It is recommended that, even if you only want to install FM/2 Utilities, that you do so using FM2*.WPI. :li.You may then install FM/2 to a directory of your choice and, if FM2UTILS*.WPI is present, install FM/2 Utilities to a directory of your choice. :eol. :eul. :h3 res=100120 name=PANEL_UNINSTALL.

If you often do different specific things with FM&slash.2&comma. you might set up a WPS object customized to start up ideally for each activity&per.

The State :link reftype=hd res=99400.quicklist:elink. can also be used for this within FM&slash.2 itself&per. :p.You can exclude drives in the parameters by prefacing the drive letter with "&slash."&comma. and there can be more than one drive letter behind the "&slash." &lpar.i&per.e&per.
