Hi, to answer your question: > DOS\HELP - all help files This contains only files which are called "project.*", like "project" or "project.cn" or "project.es" or "project.htm" ... Actually the CURRENT way is even simpler: DOS\HELP\ contains files which are called "project". So for e

What does the list think about Eric's suggestion? Scandisk seems non-functional at this point - at least for me, it doesn't really do anything. The entry in the "1.0 To-do" list for Scandisk is "use the interface with CHKDSK code" which seems to be the right thing to do. Sounds like taking Sc
