over there: copy HulaCore.zip c:\hulabats Change directory to the toplevel directory and extract the contents: c: cd \hulabats jar xvf HulaCore.zip Change directory to the man subdirectory and read the following files: cd man more intro.1 more environ.1 Then you should understand what environ variables you can set if you want to be able to read the man pages with the bin\man.cmd script, and use the bin\apropos.cmd and bin\whatis.cmd scripts, as well. After that you might want to add the HulaBats bin directory to your search PATH: set path=c:\hulabats\bin;%path% or to the PATH in the global system environment with the Windows GUI that is designed to do such things, oh and then you might have to reboot probably as well for it to take effect. I just usually create a local login.cmd script (similar to an old msdos autoexec.bat script) to set the environ variables and the prompt just as I want them to be for each local CMD shell terminal console window as I pop them up.
