I'd suggest not deleting the volume label.  Every time you do a directory
listing, DOS searches for the label and displays it at the top of the listing.
If you do not have a label, DOS has to search your entire directory to
discover this, slowing DIR down considerably (and we don't want to make DOS
any slower than we have to, do we, playmates :-)
