The Install program modifies a Microsoft
product to take full advantage of a

you may define your own terminal by
answering a series of questions.
A manual describing your terminal will
help you answer the questions.

Press RETURN after each of your answers.
Press control-C, at any time
to abort install.

Press any key to continue.
