It's not difficult to do, since everything ends up in "MyDocuments" as a
default. Now, with very little effort at all, you CAN, indeed, lose a file.
However, if you use the Find command (assuming you know the name of the file,
or at least an extension), there's some help there. That's better than I did
with the Apple "finder," whatever that is...

Yes, I had, but I'd never seen Windows before, and didn't know it was going to
load Windows on my machine when I intended simply to install Excel. It worked
fine, though, at least within the limits of himem.sys and smartdrv.sys, both
of which were flawed in that incarnation.
