    Beware!  This may not be your problem, but if you upgraded
 direct from DOS 5 to 6.20 without first upgrading to DOS 6.0,
 using the DOS 6.20 (or presumably 6.22) 'upgrade' disk, then you
 will have a hybrid system with quite a lot of DOS 5 components,
 not all of which will actually run.  You can identify this
 situation by looking to see if there are a lot of files with
 timestamp "5.00" in your DOS directory.  The results of running
 such a system are not really predictable, but things can go wrong.
 If you have this situation, probably best to reinstall DOS 6.22
 (or 6.20) from scratch.
