- ;This is designed to help you get your installation organized. The
- ;intention is to provide examples with proper syntax, not to provide
- ;an actual working script. Look at install.001 distributed with
- ;Install-Pro for an example of an actual script. Please note that
- ;this is not supposed to displace the use of the documentation.

- ;definitions for many of the commands.

- ;and running external programs are discussed fully in the
- ;documentation
