I've got a fairly limited newsreader right now, so for all I know, you've 
already gotten a response.  Click once on the readme icon.  Then while 
holding down the right mouse button, go to the first workbench menu item and 
select info.  This will give and information screen on the icon.  Go to 
tools, which will probably have something like more typed in.  Just add 
your drive path where more is located (e.g., c:more).  I put more in my 
c: so that I can use it like any other os command while in cli.
