Echo SDL.COM is an excellent replacement for the DOS DIR command.
Echo It is much more versatile than DIR.  The first step is to copy
Echo SDL.COM to the directory with your other DOS command files and/or
Echo your other utility programs.  Please enter the drive and
:askdest
Echo directory that you want SDL.COM to be copied to.  The directory
Echo must already exist, and it should be one that is normally on your
Echo DOS path.  For example, you might enter C:\DOS, or C:\BIN, or
Echo C:\UTIL if you use one of those directories for executable files.

Echo The next step is to create a working disk or directory for you
Echo to customize SDL.COM.  If you don't want to do this now, press Esc
Echo or Return at the prompt.
ECHO * * *
ECHO This program will create a working disk or directory
ECHO for the purpose of running the SDLSETUP program.
ECHO * * *
ECHO It is necessary to enter the drive and/or directory
ECHO that you want to use for the working area.  A RAM disk
ECHO would be ideal because it speeds things up and once
ECHO you customize SDL.COM the way you want it, it is not
ECHO necessary to save the working directory.  A directory on
Echo a hard disk works very well also, and the work can easily
Echo be done on a floppy but it will be a little slower.
ECHO * * *
ECHO Enter the drive and/or directory that you want to use.  If you
Echo include a directory, be sure that the directory exists, or that
Echo it is OK to use the DOS MD (Make Directory) command to create it.
ECHO * * *
ECHO Some examples of what you might enter are:
ECHO B:       E:        C:\SDL       D:\MASDIR

ECHO Creating a working area for SDLSETUP as %P%.
echo If you see the message "Unable to create directory"
ECHO it means that the directory already exists, that it is a

ECHO This does NOT indicate a problem unless you have made
ECHO a mistake in your specification.
