   No questions are silly, I am getting to the point where I will be
asking plenty! Welcome to the program.

    Well, Mario is quite correct when he says you can put your stuff
in any directory you want. But, I am not sure if you are refering to
the files you take off the development disc, stuff you download,
etc... When setting up your PC to work with the yaroze, it makes life
infinitely easier to copy the folders off the silver development disc
onto your C: partition directly. If you look up above at HELP!!!, by
tsanjose, I was confused about the fact he was trying to boot a gold
debug disc with the yaroze, so I gave a long-winded explanation of how
to get started.
   As for programs you download, or even the programs you get off the
software development disc, you can organize them anyway you want.
You will be working from a DOS prompt, setting the path, then
executing Siocons from that folder, so the only thing to keep in mind
is simplicity of remembering and entering your paths. 
   I keep everything I download in a folder with many subdivisions, I
really should reorganize it, but it has grown to 70 MB., and I won't
be bothered. Plan ahead, as you explore the member site, you are going
to find many tools, games, documents, etc... to download. Else you'll
be minimizing your DOS window constantly, like me, to double check
paths.

>Any input will be greatly appreciated!!!

   No prob.
