   Hi Jean,   
      
   A follow up.   
      
   JP> 	In W-10, you can change to any language. Click the small white   
   JP> window at the very left of the taskbar, click on Settings, this will

   Done that.

   JP> not have to do all the work yourself ! Let me know what you get.   
      
   I've done that, no dice.   
      
   Yesterday, I first updated AVG and then went to M$ and updated Win10   
   to todays stand. Even though I used the US english language setting,   
   nothing happened to the languages.   
      
   Talked to a serviceman at a computer service, and he showed on the   
   control panel the language setup screen that I may have to import   
   the language package.   
      
   OTOH, my machine does have the package. If I want the british english   
   available, I have to import that package.   
      
   Oh well, I have to do other jobs now, but after that I'll go to a friend   
   that does nothing else but Windows.   
      
   I'll let you know the continued advances.   
   -----------   
   In a dec.31st 2015 message you replied:   
      
    HG> I will however still use OS/2 on all other machines.   
      
   You are a better user than I. I alwasy had problems with this darned   
   command line stuff.   
      
   I forgot to comment on that statement.   
      
   There seems to be a misconception among some Windows users that OS/2 is   
   a command line oriented system.   
      
   That is wrong. OS/2 had a GUI already in v2.1 when I installed it 1993.   
   That GUI grew better with Warp3 and improved again with Warp4 in 1996.   
      
   Windows 286 didn't have a GUI interface, but looked like the PCTools   
   interface, sort of a file manager where you could choose the program   
   you wanted to run. It was named something like "Executive ....." IRC.   
      
   The first Windows real GUI came with Windows v3.0.   
      
   You see, I've used Windows since v1.03, until I became an OS/2 addict.
