Joan, You cannot purchase AutoPilot on disk. They only way to get it is to download it, unpack it, and set it up. I have been as careful as I can be in giving you instructions – making sure that I give you everything that you need to type with the one exception that I did not know the path to where you have put your downloads. Now, if I understand your most recent message, you have them in HD1:Downloads – or it could be called Work:Downloads. Is that right? If you are at a CLI prompt and you type DIR WORK:Downloads do you see the files AP.LHA and APDOCS.LHA in the directory list of files? If not, exactly what DO you see when you type that command? Are you sure that you kept the names AP.LHA and APDOCS.LHA exactly the same as this when you downloaded them? If you changed even a single letter or symbol, the Amiga cannot find them. Starting again from the beginning: (1) From a CLI, type DIR WORK:DOWNLOADS, and make sure you have AP.LHA and APDOCS.LHA in that directory. CHeck the spelling to make sure they are EXACTLY like the names in the preceding sentence. (2) From a CLI, type DIR C:L#?, and make sure that LHA is one of the files that is listed from that command. IF both of those work well, then you will be ready to unpack the AP files. Did you keep the message I wrote before? I gave you step by step instructions for doing them, telling you exactly what to type each time. You just have to change the word PATH: to WORK:DOWNLOADS/. Anyway, let me know if you have done steps 1 and 2 and if they were successful. Then, tell me once again the path to your files and I'll go through it again. —Betty
