The author's instructions
INSTALLATION
Create a directory on your hard disk called DW and change directory
to it like this.
C:\> MKDIR DW
C:\> CD DW
C:\DW>
Copy the DWRK.ZIP or DWRK.EXE file into this directory. If you have
the .ZIP file, unzip it. If you have the .EXE file, execute it.
The following files are created:
SR.EXE The Demo Workshop screen recorder TSR
DW.EXE The Demo Workshop presentation editor
DW.HLP The presentation editor help file used by DW.EXE
DWGUIDE.TXT The Demo Workshop v1.1 Users Guide
DEMOWKSH.P2 File required by DW.EXE to create standalone
presentation programs
DWDEMO.EXE Demonstration DW presentation
ORDER.FRM The Demo Workshop registration and order form
FILE_ID.DIZ BBS description file
README.1ST This file
To view the demo, execute DWDEMO.EXE.
You might want to create an environment variable called DWDIR and
equate it to the directory where you unpacked Demo Workshop. This
will allow you to use Demo Workshop from another disk/directory it
you wish. To do this, place a line like the following in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET DWDIR=C:\DW
You will need to reboot for this change to take effect.
If you do not do this, and you execute DW from another directory,
you will not be able to access help information or create
.EXE output files.
RELEASE NOTES
You must create a recording file before you can use DW, the
presentation editor. You can create an empty recording if you
wish by invoking SR twice. The first time, a file called SCREEN.REC
will be created, and the second time SR will remove itself from
memory.
Type SR /? to display a brief help screen for the screen recorder.

The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
