ERROR DESCRIPTION:
USING THE PS/2 MOD 30 WITH AN 8512 ATTACHED, AN ERROR OCCURS
WHEN SELECTING THE COLOR CHANGE PROGRAM FROM THE SHELL MAIN
MENU. THE ERROR READS SHELL FUNCTION NOT ACTIVE AND WHEN HELP
IS SELECTED THE TEXT READS OPTION NOT SPECIFIED IN THE DOSSHELL
.BAT FILE. THE TEXT STATES TO ADD THE NECESSARY OPTION TO THE
BAT ILE. THE /COLOR OPTION IS ALREADY IN THE BAT FILE.
LOCAL FIX:
PROBLEM SUMMARY: ON THE PS/2 MOD 25 AND MOD 30 THE DOS 4.0
SHELL DEFAULTS TO GRAPHICS MODE ON THE COLOR DISPLAYS SO THAT
GRAPHICS AND THE SCROLL BAR CAN BE USED. ON THESE MODELS,
GRAPHICS MODE PUTS THE COLOR DISPLAY IN BLACK/WHITE.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION: TO USE COLOR IN THIS SITUATION, ADD THE
STARTUP OPTION /TEXT IN THE DOSSHELL.BAT FILE. HELP HAS
BEEN ADDED TO INDICATE THIS. PTF UR22624
