  55.       │   to loose all the settings you have done, you can transfer them   │
  56.       │   to v1.1. You have to transform the old ini files MENU.INI and    │
  57.       │   SONST.INI to the new ini files for version 1.1: CODE.INI         │
  58.       │   and REXXIT.INI. To do so just drop both old ini files            │
  59.       │   onto UPDATE.CMD. After that you have to replace the standard     │
  60.       │   v1.1 files by the just created ini files.                        │
