I downloaded all the .lzh files from the terminator archive.

I de-lzhed em all, putting together what seemed like a reasonable
directory tree for the files, given the README file included with
TeX and Metafont.

Various attempts at running TeX with the Mark William's Shell <msh>,
PCOMMAND, etc. reduced my elation at having TeX on my 1040 to maddness
at myself for bothering to download.

It seems the only way I can run TeX is to turn off my hard-drive and
run it from my floppy.  I even reduced my FOLDRXXX to about 10 extra 
folders and took out all my accessories and it still would only run
from the desktop.  Of course I can't set the environment from the
desktop, so that is a non-solution.

By the way, my setup is as follows:
TOS 1.0, 1040 1MB, SH204 running HDX3.01, and various AUTO 
folder programs enabled or disabled at any given time.

Is it just me or do I have an <obsolete |:) > 1040ST?

How about an earlier version of TeX, with a listing of the files
one needs to grab in order to get a working setup?

PLEASE! HELP!  I've had a hardcover TeXbook for 3 years and want
to use it!
