c:\windows.

screen

>Further more, since you are using a hardware synthesizer, There are two
ways

>CD\
>followed by enter. This will take you to the root directory. Now type:
>CD jfw32
>followed by enter and then type:
>RN ssil.DLL ssil.old
>Now that the file is renamed, type the next command to copy:
>Copy c:\multissil\ssil.DLL c:\jfw32

completely

because
