Some time ago I informed the OS/2 Warpcast community about my OS/2
virtual desktop. I asked for comments on it, so I could improve it. I
received a lot of reactions (thanks of course!). The main comment was
that I should add more interactivity and should use JavaScript for
placing small images instead of loading big image files. Code
examples for absolute positioning (thanks to the Internet community)
helped me to create the thing you asked for. Within a few days I will
leave for holiday, but I consider the result good enough to present
it to the OS/2 community. It is still beta so you cannot access it
from my home page. Access it at:

  http://web.inter.nl.net/users/PvdKamp/virtual/new-os2.html 

I tested it with Netscape Communicator 4.61 for OS/2 Warp, but in
case you have access to MS IE you can test it with that browser.

I'm currently working on a kind of manual, but some hints follow here
so keep this message for future reference.

You can click:
  OS/2 Warp icon
  Minimized Window Viewer icon
  Tray icon
  Connections icon
  StarOffice icon

In the connection window you can click:
  Drive C
  Drive D

In the Drive D Icon View window you can click: View (and then Details
view)

In all the windows you can click the Close Window symbol, so the
window will close.

You can bring the Drive C and Drive D windows in focus by clicking
the large gray space next to the Menu bar texts in Drive C, and
clicking the small gray space in Drive D which is left when Drive D
is covered by Drive C (hope I'm clear?).
