PROBLEMS RUNNING SETUP IN REAL MODE IN WINDOWS VERSION 3.0

If you run Windows version 3.0 in real mode, you may see the message
"Cannot open program group file" while Setup is trying to install groups
into Program Manager.

To continue installing Productivity Pack, exit the Setup program and
delete some of the groups in Program Manager.  Then run Setup again.


COMPRESSED FILES ON THE SETUP DISKS
===================================

Most of the files on the Setup disks are compressed. These files are not
usable until they are expanded and copied to your hard disk by Setup. The
compressed files have file extensions that end with '$'.


USING THE LEARNING WINDOWS TUTORIAL
===================================

This section describes some problems you might have running the Learning
Windows tutorial.

TSRs
----
Terminate-and-Stay-Resident programs (TSRs) interfere with Learning Windows.

386 enhanced mode application shortcut keys

386 enhanced mode application shortcut keys can interfere with Learning
Windows. You should not switch to a non-Windows application by pressing an
