Type the filename or directory name and path and press
ENTER.

If you do not type a drive letter or directory name,

You cannot create a new directory and a new file with one
command. You must first create the new directory before
assigning new or existing files to it.

Example 1: If you want to create a new text file called

MYFILE

under the existing

NEWDIR

directory on the floppy

drive, type A:\NEWDIR\MYFILE.TXT and press ENTER.

Example 2: If you want to create a subdirectory called

JULY

under the existing

MEMOS

directory on the root directory of

hard disk, type C:\MEMOS\JULY and press ENTER.
