Improve HELP.MD a little bit.
* Add some caplization to "Command Prompt", "Window Mode" and "Full Screen" mode
* Changed "brick" to "mess up" as "bricked" means that the operating system is permanently damaged.
* Add another "enter" for the "What's the FrontPage Username and Password?" section, now people won't accidently connect as "windows95Password".
* Fix DisplacedGamers missing "s" in the end.

# Help & Commonly Asked Questions
## MS-DOS seems to mess up the screen
Hit `Alt + Enter` to make the command screen "Full Screen" (as far as Windows 95 is
concerned). This should restore the display from the garbled mess you see and allow
you to access the Command Prompt. Press Alt-Enter again to leave Full Screen and go
back to Window Mode. (Thanks to @DisplacedGamers for that wisdom)
## Windows 95 is stuck in a bad state
On the app's home screen, select "Settings" in the lower menu. Then, delete your
machine's state before starting it again - this time hopefully without issues.
## I want to install additional apps or games
If you are running macOS, or Linux, you can probably "mount" the
virtual hard drive used by `windows95` to add files. Hit the "Modify C: Drive"
button, which will take you to the disk image.
On macOS, double-click the disk image to open it.
On Windows 10, Windows will _think_ that it can open up the image, but will
actually fail to do so. Use a tool [like OSFMount][osfmount] to mount your
disk image.
On Linux, search the Internet for instructions on how to mount an `img` disk
image on your distribution. It's likely that you'll be able to run `mount`
with the image as input.
