Thanks, Sandy, that does give me a good idea. The Boot Mgr. and DOS / W2K
menus that Tony set up for me cover the essential boot options well enough.
I'm probably going to try them out for awhile. SC does add some flexibility, and
a more pleasantly polished interface, but I don't know that it is going to be
worth $60. -- the cheapest mail order price I've seen for the current version.

Are there some things you like to be able to do, that are possible under SC but
not under Boot Mgr. ?
