You can also go into Click on Start and then on Settings and go to TASKBAR
and set up the things you would like to see on your screen... such as the
icons you had running in program manager of Win3.xxx.  It will let you set up
'Startup menu' and give easy access to anything you use a lot (such as your
Bible programs and bluewave, JUNO, WORDPAD, NOTEPAD, etc.) (Ours has a lot of
music stuff - plus the internet stuff and of course, JUNO, some games,
WORDPAD, and and "TROUBLE", which is the name I gave "MY COMPUTER!" <BG>
You can go into DOS mode via shutdown sequence of Win-95. It will reboot into
DOS mode if you give it that option on shutdown...
Yep...
Pretty good!

 It's got one, Clarence!!!
Since it's that far from you, how bout checking out a BDalton's or other
bookstore at your local mall.  The prices will be somewhat more - since Sam's
sells them at somewhat discounted prices (The Que books run about $35 in most
stores.  At Sam's they're $20... So a savings of around 100 percent just by
going to Sam's...)
Clarence!!!
That's okay, Clarence... just enjoy it!  You can't do anything that the tech
can't fix!!!
Nancy
