I hope there are some Excel users out there.  I've been using Lotus for
a long time, but I'm switching to Excel.  I have some questions for any
gurus there might be:

Is there a way to configure the directory to be something other than the
"windows" directory?  This was easy in Lotus, but I'm having trouble
seeing how in Excel.

Is there a way to configure excel so that the particular choices you
like in the menus (Page Setup, for instance, or Display) come up as
defaults instead of having to be redone each time you open the program?

Is there a way to get to DOS from in Excel, like you can do in Lotus?

Please help me if you know any of these answers.  It will be
appreciated.

John
