Hi!

I want to install DJGPP but:

I am unable to edit either autoexec.bat or config.sys in Windows XP. The =
two files are hidden and show up with a leading 0 in the c:\  directory.

Presumably I can set the path in the Environment window, but how do I =
place:

SHELL=3DC:\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P

in the config.sys file?

Will issuing the path command in the command prompt window work assuming =
I don't need the SHELL command?

Thank you,

Ken
