	First of all, before I get yelled at, I have heard of how this
is SUPPOSED to be done (reboot holding the two mouse buttons down, get
the booting options screen, choose 1.3, etc.), but I tried this and
had some difficulty figuring out exactly what it is I am supposed
to do.  When I boot this way, I get a screen with 3 strips of
information at the top.  The left most "button" on each strip is
for enabling or disabling a particular feature.  The first strip
has something to do with using the floppy drive (I think this
is correct, but I am going on memory now).  The second strip refers
to WB 2.X (for enabling/disabing it) and I do not recall what the
third strip states.

Well, the only thing I was able to do was to disable WB 2.X and 
enable booting FROM THE FLOPPY!!  This works great, but I if I 
understood things correctly, I am NOT supposed to have to boot 1.3 
from the floppy.  It is on the HD (or is it RAM, since I recall 
hearing something about this being the reason for losing 512K of
my RAM).  I could NOT affect the bottom strip (the one for which
I cannot recall the name).

	Could someone PLEASE email to me the EXACT step-by-step
procedure for booting from the 1.3.2 OS on the A3000?  Please
be as exact as possible as to what I will see on the screen
and what steps I take.

Thanks.
