   NO! DON'T DO THIS!

   The command as given will stop your system from working.  It will prevent 
   access to any commands or directories other than the stuff in 
   /dos/quicken.  At the very least, this would cause a lot of confusion.

   I think the command that was intended was:

	   ln -s /dos/quicken /quicken

   The difference is that you won't lose the use of the rest of your 
   system.  Please be very careful in typing it in, since if you symbolicly 
   link your root to another directory, you will have to reboot your system 
   with a maintenance disk to fix it.

Both will work.  I prefer to leave off the /quicken because it`s less
typing.  It`s probably a good idea for newbies to be explicit.
