 I, too, had a similar problem with F-PC v3.5 INSTALL program. When I
 tried to install it on my PC (a PS/2 50z) at work it did ok. When I took
 it home to my AT, it bombed at precisely the same spot, when it wanted
 the paths. I then tried it on a Zenith Lap top (which I also had at
 home), and it worked fine.  Just then I realized that at work and on the
 Zenith, I had let it default to the root directory + FPC
 (In other words   C:\FPC.......) while on the AT I had put it in a
 sub\sub\directory (C:\FORTH\FPC.....). When I retried it on the AT
 and let it default; it worked fine. I came back to work, where I have a
 D hard disk and reinstalled it there and it worked on a different disk
 as well, but not in a sub\sub\directory!
 There you go, it _is_ the Forth (uh, install program!).
