Hi, and help, please.  I recently purchased a Packard Bell 486SX
(Legend 710), 25MHz.  I'm not sure, but I think I'm having a small
(or rather ... LARGE) problem with my HDD.  I'm new to the DOS
world (being a hard-core Apple ][er), and have no idea what's
going on with this machine, but...  I'm running Windows 3.1 and
DOS 5.0, and bouncing back and forth between the two, and having
a few system crashes.  It seems that my 130Meg HDD is filling
up in and of itself, with no help from me.  Is this a known
problem?  Am I doing something tragically wrong?  Is there some
way I can detect files that are deletable or something?  I've
downloaded a few things lately, but I've deleted everything that
I've downloaded, and I've gone from 40 megs free to 1 meg free
without adding anything to the HDD that I haven't deleted since.
What's going on?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Jim
