marks) at the command prompt.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The installation of Norton Utilities 6.0 will display the following window at 98
percent completion:

  ****************** Install ***********************
  * Would you like to add help for the Norton      *
  * Utilities programs to your DOS 5 help file?    *
  *                                                *
  * DOS 5 provides the capability to get help on   *
  * its various commands through the HELP program. *
  * By typing HELP followed by the name of         *
  * a command or program, you can get quick help   *
  * on the use of the command or program.          *
  *                                                *
  * You can extend this capability to include the  *
  * Norton Utilities program as well.  You should  *
  * only choose to do this if you have not already *
  * done so, or if your DOS help file has been     *
  * erased.                                        *
  *                                                *
  *                                                *
