   You ask why IBM didn't spell out GTO in words ... that's the way IBM
works.  They use acronyms like crazy.  In fact, there is a database that
IBM employees use to keep track of acronyms (I'm serious!)

   As for upgrading to DOS 4:  Well, if you want to alter the partitioning
of the hard disk, you'll basically have to back the whole lot up (DO THIS WITH
THE NEW VERSION OF DOS, NOT THE OLD ONE!), reformat the hard disk, and restore
the stuff.  If you don't want to play with your partitioning, you can just
do the above process to the boot disk.  Make sure,though, that you don't
restore the old version of DOS on top of the new one!!!
