From the "Office" manager of OS Merge (OSM) on my 6300+ I have chosen to
install some MS-DOS applications software from floppy disks. OSM puts
me into the DOS environment, creates and suggests a directory \foo for
installation, and turns me loose. When I "quit", the office manager
apparently links my files in /foo to ones in /osm/lbin (also links
/osm/lbin/foo.exe or .com to /osm/lbin/foo). And, it adds \foo to my
MS-DOS "PATH".

Question: Since "PATH" already includes \osm\lbin, why is \foo
appended?

Another subject: Has anyone yet installed MS WORD on the hard disk - can
it be put on the combined UNIX/MS-DOS partition?
