       OpenDoc Multimedia for OS/2. 


   10. If you selected additional features, you may get several more panels 
       that you should reply to.  If you decided to change the CONFIG.SYS 
       automatically, the installation program will give you the notice panel 
       that it has done it so with the following panel (shown in Figure 104).

   After the installation has finished, you need to perform the following 
   steps to use the OpenDoc Multimedia functions: 


   1.  Replace the CONFIG.SYS with CONFIGCH.NEW if you didn't change the 
       CONFIG.SYS automatically. 


   2.  Reboot the system to make the new CONFIG.SYS take effect.

   you open the contents of this folder, you will see the screen shown in
