Hi Fred, I believe the windows environment is available under your linux filesystem as /mnt/c so you should be able to access any Windows files.
The Linux filesystem is under your Windows AppData\Local. I installed xming, a minimalist Windows X server, and ran the linux Firefox. Videos work OK, but I don't have sound. But it certainly seems functional enough to run GNU APL. Maybe I'll play with it later.
