Greetings Keith:
I started the computer as you directed in Command Prompt Only. There were not any
files listed. The C prompt appeared and I tried dir *.ur? as you suggested, but
the Bad Command or File Name appeared. If I move the file to the Desktop, what would
I need to type in to get to this file? Thanking you in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Gerald
