Sorry about the triple post. I'll remember to edit the first one in future.
The problem is I'm not even sure the type program is on the tutorial disk. It tells me 'type' is an unrecognised command which suggests it isn't there although I'm no expert as you have probably gathered by now, lol. I thought maybe it would be on the corrupt WB 3.0 disk and that maybe if it wasn't all corrupt I could just pop the disk in and type 'dir' to see if I could find the file but the tutorial tells me to put the original disk back in whenever I do this.
Any chance of an idiots guide to doing this? I had an Amiga years ago but didn't venture into Workbench a great deal so it's not just a matter of remembering commands - I didn't know them to begin with.
Edit: I'm now using the version of Workbench on the Very First tutorial disk. The type command works but now it says "can't open ser:"
Has anyone got any idea why it can't find the serial connection?
