	when i first got my upgrade to 2.3.2 (for the 286) i noticed
	this.  i after doing what i could (including re-installing
	the os) i called sco tech support.  they assured me that it
	works on their machine -- i emphasized that i was working with
	the 286 version and they said they understood and it did work.

	since then there have been a number of postings on this subject.
	i think it is safe to say that everyone (except for sco) agrees
	that that it is broken.  before we can get a fix from sco, we
	have to get them to agree the w command isn't working.
