Correction: according to your directory listing, menu.lst is in subdirectory c:\puppy\bootgrub\grub, so if grub.exe is in c:\puppy\bootgrub then the line should read

C:\puppy\bootgrub\grub.exe --config-file=(hd0,0)/puppy/bootgrub/grub/menu.lst

My ISP was totally out of service for half an hour there.

Go to Page 1, your very first message, and edit the subject line.

There is a little bit of cleanup we can still do. For instance, move the line

@echo off

to the very top of your autoexec.bat, and the lines won't double-echo.

In menu.lst change PSLEEP=25 to PSLEEP=999 (or, add it if it's not there, in the kernel line)

and Puppy will copy the contents of pup001 to RAM, run it from there, and then save pup001 back to disk at shutdown time. This makes Puppy run faster.

OK see you then. If you look over in Announcements, the new snapshot of Puppy 2 Alpha has been released by BarryK and is temporarily available at MU's fast website. My advice is, get it while you can, before MU runs out of bandwidth.
