The two opinions about my system (Leading Edge Model D) hanging up on
setup were strange video card or old BIOS.  I talked to several people
and since I was able to boot DOS 5 from a floppy and run several pieces
of software I should just install DOS manually.  I did yesterday and
the system boots happily and there are no problems (except for changing
a few parameters).  Now I need to expand all of the compressed files.
Is there a way to avoid typing:

EXPAND FOO.CO_ FOO.COM
DEL FOO.CO_

about 50 times?  How does setup know what the missing letter is on all
of these files?  Does is just "know" and I have a lot of typing to look
forward to?
