Setup questions



I'll repost my prior question: I have a TP755CD, and need some help with
setup-type questions, which arose in trying to run 11th Hour game in pure
DOS (I otherwise am still using win3.1).  I'm a little disappointed in the
paucity of IBM documentation for much of these down-and-dirty setup type
programs:

1. Does anyone know about the command switches for mwave?  I'm trying to
understand mwave.bat, and can't tell the difference between "start" and
"on", or what "reconfig" is for, or what "show" and "noshow" do in parameter
2 place.  Similarly, what do I need to diddle in mwgames.bat?

2. When and how does one use the ibmadvesa advanced vesa support?  I tried
running tpadvesa.exe, but it said it was already running, even though it's
not in autoexec.bat.

3. Should one run dos's power.exe, or is that redundant with those other two
strange autoexec lines of v7320.exe (or something like that) that seem to be
power managers?

4. Has anyone succeeded with running 11th Hour?

5. Does ps2 hfile_c need to be run each time you reboot?  I understand it
creates the hard disk memory map for sleep, but the size of it shouldn't
change with each boot.

6. There are other similar arcane lines in the original autoexec.bat which I
hesitate to remove, since there's no documentation.

Thanks.
