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 Utilities 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 . 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.
