Title: IBM StoryBoard Plus...how to run it?

I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to install a program called IBM Storyboard Plus.
IBM made this program in 1989 out of Boca Raton,Fl.
I use it for making my animations to put onto the Mikohn MK2 Animation Board.
I had it installed before and I was using it...but my free .rar unzipper program expired,
I couldn't open the SB menu.exe anymore.
I downloaded a trial version of Winzip to unzip it but now it doesn't work.
The files are all unzipped into a folde in My Documents in XP but
I don't remember how to get it to run again...Help!
Basically, when I click on the SBMENU.exe icon, the folder begins to opens but
it's more like a quick DOS screen flash than back to my desktop.
I attached the folder below as a PDF file so you can see partly
how it looks on my computer in the folder.>>>

Open up a dos window first then type in the name of the .exe or .com file

Make sure your temp directory is defined, make sure the directory you copied the files to is in your path, and set the working directory to where your animations are.
