      C:\SETUP

    - Where do you want to store the Bookshelf programs?
      Press ENTER to continue.

   the buttons at the bottom of each screen.

   action in a double-lined button, press ENTER.

   highlighted, and then press Spacebar.

   drive letter.
 
   Type the drive letter for your RAM disk in the box below. Then press
   ENTER to continue.

   information on floppy disk. You must now specify the drive where the
   floppy disk will be.
 
   In the box below, Setup has suggested a drive. If you want to use this
   drive, press ENTER.
 
   If you want to specify a different drive, type the drive letter in the
   box, and then press ENTER.
