How do you avoid messing with autoexe and bats and stuff if they're there when DOS boots?[/b]

Well, modifying them is only really neccesary when you need specific driver configuration, eg disabling CD-Rom support or expanded/extended memory managers. Most likely you won't have to deal with them.

That last line is scary. "The biggest problem" say it isn't so.[/b]

Once you stop doubting your abilities, it turns out easier then it looked.

Any ideas about that one. Where would one look for a game installed for DOS????[/b]

In the root of your C drive, most likely.

Although, with some of the other comments, I don't know how you managed to learn the darn thing.[/b]

Sheer persistence, mostly. And whaddadya know, it works.
