In this case, you do not need to specify the path to the

LEDGER directory because it is the default directory.

Listing the Contents of a Directory

You can use the DIR command to list all the files in a particular
directory. For example, to list the files in the current directory,

type the following and press Enter:

DIR

MS-DOS lists the names of the files in the current directory on
the current drive, in a format like the following example:

Directory of

C:\WORDPROC\PERSONAL

A directory listing includes the following information about

each file: the name and extension, the size in bytes, and the
date and time the file was created or last modified (whichever

is later).

Any subdirectories in the directory are listed along with the
files; they are identified by the letters

. At the bottom of

the listing,

MS-DOS

reports the total number of files

(including directories) and the number of bytes on the disk
that are still available for use.

If the listing is too long to fit on one screen, you can add the /P

switch to the command, like this:

DIR /P
