Good question!

I do have to hit it fairly hard, and regularly. Sometimes with a good, heavy bludger.

Problem solved: I had copied Qbasic.exe and Qbasic.hlp from a Dos 6 installation disk. The .exe is ok but the .hlp is incompatible with W98.

Eventually I stumbled on a functioning Qbasic.hlp which W98se original installation had routinely and without .exe or a readme placed in the Windows\Command folder.

W98se Install Disk did not include Qbasic, only its hlp. Gotta love that Microsoft don'cha??
