Not really NB (yet): some questions

["DR.J.S.MEISAMI" <MEISAMI>]

Dear Notabenissimi,

I have not yet had the time (read: dared to attempt) to install NB on
the laptop which now runs on win95. But I have been trying to check
out W95; and can't find a tree anywhere (plus lots of bizarre
behavior, at least to one who is an old-fashioned DOS user, which
makes me sort of a dinosaur, I guess).

Question (1): when I get a DOS prompt (from W95, selecting "MSDOS
prompt", or whatever), I can't type any commands, because I can't get
a backslash. Is this (a) a Win problem; or (b) a laptop keyboard
problem; or (c) an insoluble problem?

Question (2):  Where in my Win95 files ought I to look for a tree?
(There is something called "deltree", but when I call it up, it tells
me "missing parameter").

I'm totally confused here; can anybody help? (I realize you're all
out there doing other things, at this time of year; but I'm pretty
desperate here.)

TIA
