Everything's simple, everything makes complete sense, and all the commands do exactly what you tell them to do. You know, just simple stuff, like you want to move a file, I don't know, how could you not know to use the "move" command?? But I had to tell my sister in an email (she's a Mac user), how to copy files on a networked PC where she goes to school, not too difficult actually to do, but describing it isn't much fun, but it would have been twice as easy to describe how to do it in Dos. And what a twisted mess Windows turns the computers into, it takes me months to make the things run smoothly and stop crashing on me. But hey, I was looking at a website about System Commander, and if I install that, it claims that one of the things it automatically does is give you the ability to boot into Dos without having to cheat your way in with a system floppy. But I've been procrastinating and haven't bought it yet. Pete
