1. Copy LXPLORE.EXE, SETIT.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.
2. Copy GAMES.DAT, MENU.DAT, OFFICE.DAT, PROGRAMS.DAT, LXP_EXT.DAT to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
3. If you edit a configuration file on the palmtop, make sure you leave a newline at the end: some programs swallow the last line without saying a word.

How to install LXplore?

 It  is  recommended  that  you  keep  the  files  LXPLORE.EXE,
 LXPLORE.HLP, LX_EXT.DAT, and MENU.DAT in a separate directory.
 You should   start   LXplore  by  terminating  system  manager
 (which is not  absolutely  required),  changing  to  LXplore's
 directory  and  entering  LXPLORE.  You might try  the example
 menu files which are provided with the program. Note  however,
 that these are only example files and many menu items will not
 work on your Palmtop. If you like  LXplore, you  should  enter
 it in your  AUTOEXEC.BAT  file;  either  after  the  line  100
 (or 200) or instead of  it.  In  the  first case, LXplore will
 be  started  after  terminating system manager; in the  second
 one it  will be started after reboot. You can call the  System
 manager from within LXplore in either case. If you want to use
 SETIT, you should copy  SETIT.EXE  somewhere  in your DOS path
 or in the same direcory as LXPLORE.

How to use LXplore?

 Start  LXPLORE  with  the  MS-DOS  prompt by changing  to  its
 directory  and entering  LXPLORE. Although LXplore is intented
 to run outside  system  manager, it will also run inside after
 pressing Ctrl-123. LXplore will *NOT* work  if  you  start  it
 with filer or the built-in application manager.

 You can access the help file LXPLORE.HLP by pressing F1 in the
 program.  This  text  will  give  you further assistance. From
 within  LXplore,  you  should  also  examine  the example menu
 files.

 LXplore  can  be  called  with several parameters, but most of
 them are meaningless to  the user. Some of them, however, will
 be described here:
 LXLORE file [item]  starts LXplore by using the specified file
                     as a menu list,  instead  of MENU.DAT. The
