  AaaarrrrggggHH! I wish you hadn't said that! I bought a legal copy
of M$DOS6, and the manual is a heap of shit! So I spent another $25
and bought the command summary, and it's a heap of shit too. And then
unspeakable M$ "upgraded" to DOS6.2 and my book is out of date.

  Bastards!

  I'm still using the Novell DRDOS6 book, which is excellent, BTW, but
it doesn't always make sense for MSDOS6.2 - and an old Olivetti DOS3.3
book. M$ seems to be getting worse. The only thing I like about them
is their books. As far as I am concerned, M$ is in the book publishing 
business; I can always steal the software.

Regards,
Bob
