>>Windows ME has a config.sys file but if you write into it whatever you write disappears and has no effect. Windows ME does not seem to share printers at least as far as we are able to find out. My FoxPro 2.6 program requires a files setting of 80 in order to work. I and several coworkers have spend 3 hours trying to figure out how to JUST SET FILES!!! Why have a config.sys file when the #@!!! thing doesn't work! Any help greatly appreciated. ME is not for me.

That is sound advice. A copy of Me (or any newly-released OS) for testing is fine, but don't implement it in production until a SP comes along - or minimally, wait for some MSDN KB bug docs/fixes appear, a month or two after release.
Calvin, note that probably the reason why config.sys and other DOS-related files don't function is that Me contains no DOS! (except for the Me OS being built internally on the shell, but that is hidden, of course). This is why a professional Me tester/reviewer suggested: DO NOT try to port any DOS-based apps to Me.
