A big tip of the hat to Robert Gault.  Those modules did the trick.
I now have a system with all the stuff I need at the moment.  And I
can rebuild my system without havingto resort to a floppy again.

Here's my next interesting one.  I compiled a program written in
C. (Actually taken from Unix.)  It opens a file for writting and
if not already there, creates it.  I wrote a bunch of text to it.
Closed it and exited the program.  Dir say that file is a directory.
IfI dir it I see all the text I entered.  Now the problem. How do I
get rid of it?  I can't delete it because it isn't empty. And I can't
empty it because those aren't really file names in the directory.

Suggestions?
