SUMMARY
The Compaq plasma display requires the MONO.INI file for MS-DOS Shell; typically the MS-DOS 5 and 6 Upgrades use the EGA.INI file instead.



MORE INFORMATION
Do the following to install the MONO.INI file:

 Insert the disk that has the file named EXPAND.EXE into a floppy disk drive (for example, drive A). Type the following (assuming that DOS is the directory containing the MS-DOS files):

copy a:expand.exe c:\dos

 Move to the DOS directory by typing:

cd\

cd dos

 Insert the Upgrade disk that has the file named MONO.IN_ into a floppy disk drive (for example, drive A). Type the following:

expand a:\MONO.IN_ c:\dos\DOSSHELL.INI

 Then type:

expand a:\MONO.GR_ c:\dos\DOSSHELL.GRB

</ol>
