Also received and installed PCTools V.5.  Was able to install the
shell as a TSR file manager and pop it up over a big program like
WordPerfect 5.0.  One this I miss, in V.4, you could view a file,
mark it, view the next file, mark it, etc.  I don't believe I can
do this any more.  Before, you could view (or do any operation on an
unmarked file) just by typing Alt- plust the command initial.  This
no longer works -- you must work your way through the marked files.

I think they may have tried to do too much (file manager, editor,
note pads, rudimentary macro facility, rudimentary comm program
[with backgroud xmodem], calculator, phone dialer, cache, disk optim-
izer, formatter, FAT-saver).
