 GM> ; or is it HELP.COM ?  Substitute the correct drive/path/filename.

Actually, it's " 4HELP.exe " and it apparrently already substituted 
itself!  		^^^   

But, DHELP works and HELP brings up the 4DOS help file, so all 
is well.  

 GM> ; Substitute the correct drive/path/filename

I simply copied the file it couldn't find!
