The file `dx_build.com' helps automate the process of building and 
installing DX.  

The file `dx.com' in this directory defines logical names and commands 
such as `DX', so you must edit it to specify the file and directory names 
used.  This file must be executed in each session to enable you to run
the installed DX.  Also, `dx.com' use the file `dx.cld' which contains the 
command definitions (i.e. command parameters and qualifiers) for DX.

The file `dx$startup.dat' is an init file that is loaded from your home
directory when DX starts.  It is a text file that can be viewed or changed
using any editor.
