BLANK SCREEN
Joan,
If you didn't erase anything from your disk, it is all still there. Have
you tried just rebooting from your hard drive? That ought to make the
machine behave exactly as it did before you typed the 'endcli' command
that so alarmed you.
After you have rebooted, and are left with AmigaDOS, just type
LOADWB
and you should have the Workbench back – the one on your hard drive.
Now, did you keep the excellent instructions written to you by Jim
Butterfield yesterday? If so, print them out and follow them to get your
system set up to boot into the workbench.
You say that when you turn on the computer you get a blank screen. Do you
see some words across the top before it settles down to the blank screen?
If you install from your Workbench disk again, you will overwrite the
files that you put on the hard drive when you did the first install, but
will not harm other files unless your hard drive is in trouble – and
usually, if it is having trouble, you can read from it but cannot write to
it.
