that is how I get to the DOS but when I get there I have to type a command
in after the C prompt and when I type in defrag, it tells me I have to have
Windows :-( I am going to try the way Terry suggested but I will have to
move really fast <gr> as for some reason this computer in comparison to my
first one speeds past that black page. So if I blink it will be gone - thx
again both of you for your help. I have an appointment today but when I get
back I want to really study that page on startup programs, etc. as looked
quite interesting - Dolores (who says grandmas can't learn new things!)

To get to true DOS (not DOS in a box)
Start/shutdown/restart in DOS mode.
