That most definitely provided some clarification! Thank you! Just to clarify: when I install a program, say from fdimples, a text file I created and placed in the PACKAGES directory, and from there I am view it with my editor of choice? Can I move these programs around? Or would moving the executables without the rest of whatever is in the directory cause some dependency issues? Maybe I could circumvent this by finding the program that I want to execute, an creating the freeDOS equivalent of a bash script, or maybe a shortcut to my programs on the home directory?
