I just got a Leading Edge and I've been having tons of fun. But I have a few questions about how the hell MSDOS works. The manual is poor to say at best. So how does one use file names? What use is the if-then in an autoexec.bat? Also if anyone has the name of a readible MSDOS book I would appreciate it. I'm not computer illiterate but I've grown up on UN-X. Thanx Phillip Millman ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!mil3 5824 S. Kimbark Ave. Chicago, Il. 60637 1-312ComZsidmit
