There are a couple different ways, Angus: 1) In each DL there is a file called BRO-#.ARC (#= number of the DL) which is a "browse" (list/description) of all the files in that DL. To read this "binary" file, you must download it and de-compress it with an un-arcing utility such as PKXARC, found in DL5 (download PKX34A.COM). 2) In DL9 is a file called "BROWSE.COM" which is a browse of all files in all DLs. This binary file must be downloaded, and is de-compressed simply by typing its name (it is a "self-extracting" file). 3) While in a DL, you can browse using a keyword related to the desired file. For example, if you were looking for help files, you would enter "BRO /KEY HELP" =SM=
