I prefer the help you got with DOS 3.3. DOS 6.0 Manual, Index, SYS, "type 
HELP SYS at the command prompt." (or something similar). Why would I 
want to be using SYS if I had a working machine with a full dos installation?
I want help on that sort of stuff from the nice paper manual. DOS 3.3 came
with a nice ring binder.
