-  Examples:
+  Basically, MOUNT allows you to connect real hardware to DosBox's "emulated"
+  PC. So MOUNT C C:\ tells DosBox to use your real C: drive as drive C: in
+  DosBox. It also allows you to change the drive's letter identification for
+  programs that demand specific drive letters.
+  
+  For example: Touche: Adventures of The Fifth Musketeer must be run on your C:
+  drive. Using DosBox and it's mount command, you can trick into thinking it
+  is on C drive while placing it where you want it. For example, if the game
+  were in D:\TOUCHE, you can use the command MOUNT C D:\ would allow you to
+  run Touche from the D drive.
