How do I do it in OS/2 Warp 4.0? I've gone through a few manuals and
the on-line documentation without success.

In my CONFIG.SYS, I have
RESERVEDRIVELETTER=R
which causes my CD-RW drive to be given letter S:.

It is my impression that you may not want to use Z: for your CD drive, because "virtual disk" schemes also need a letter after the chosen reserved letter. But, it's your system, so give it a try.

There is a tool on Hobbes called "CONFIG Tool" which can explain nearly everything in a CONFIG.SYS file. I'm using V1.3.0 (apparently still current), and it says this command was new in Warp 4, but was also available in Warp 3 after FP 24.
