Subject:  [VOICENWS] Tip:  Solution For Dux / Duxshelf install

One of my favorite/most useful programs, has long been Duxshelf for OS/2. 
Duxshelf is the fast, light, combination of the American Heritage 
Dictionary, and Concise Columbia Encyclopedia.  I have used this software 
on every computer I have owned, and even bought it (no longer sold) as a 
gift for others.  So it puzzled me when I would read about other 
knowledgeable OS/2 users who could not get it running on their systems.  I 
am no longer puzzled.  This week, while making a change to my Styler/2 
settings, I decided to select the Styler/2 option "Use Styler/2 font" to 
replace system fonts with Waprsans.  Later that evening I needed to use 
Duxshelf, which promptly crashed, without even fully opening.  Since that 
was the only system change I had made, I started digging into Styler/2. 
Sure enough, that option was the culprit.  After fixing my system, I wrote 
to another individual that I had tried helping previously to get Dux's 
American Heritage Dictionary installed, and running.  Despite our best 
efforts, we failed to do so.  Again, Styler/2's "Use Styler/2 font" turned 
out to be the culprit on his system.

The solution follows:

Go to the Styler/2 Preferences notebook.  Select the Dialogs page.  You 
will see under "General options" the Use Styler/2 font box.  Leave this 
selection ticked (with a checkmark).  Look to the right top of this page. 
You will see that this is page 1 of 2.  Go to page 2.  You will see an 
"Exceptions list".  Use the "Find" button below to select the path to 
DUX.EXE.  Select it, and press the Add button.  Now Dux will open as 
expected, and you can continue to use Styler/2's "Use Styler/2 font" feature.

Good luck,
Sander Nyman
