DOS Utility Programs and Device Drivers
A subset of the most commonly used DOS commands is stored on
the C: drive of the Allegro. A full set of the DOS commands is located
on the Allegro Distribution CD-ROM.
You can access information about the DOS commands using one of
the following methods:
On your PC, the Lynx File Management Utility has a MS-DOS
Help function. Select Help/MS-DOS Help to run this function.
The Help is a DOS program that runs in a DOS window. Use
your mouse to click on a topic of interest. A description of the
command or function is shown as well as the correct syntax and
an example of how to use it.
MS-DOS Help is also located on the Allegro. From FileScout,
select DOS/Help to run the program. Use the arrow keys to
select a topic of interest and press ENTER. A description of the
command or function is shown as well as the correct syntax and
an example of how to use it.
On the Allegro there is also the fasthelp command. If you want to
know the syntax of a particular command, at the DOS prompt
type in the name of the command, a space, and then /?. The
syntax of the command is displayed on the screen. Use the
screen panning function to view the information.
