This switch causes

MS-DOS

to pause after displaying each

screenful of information.

To

see the next screenful, press any

key.

Another way to view a long directory listing is to use the /W

switch:

DIR /W

This displays the directory listing in a wide format, as follows:

Directory of

C:\WORDPROC\PERSONAL

.

. .

LETTER.713 RESUME BOOKRPRT

5

File(s)

16013560

bytes free

As you can see, this type of listing does not show the size

of

the

file or the time and date it was last modified.

To list the contents of a different drive or a different directory,

include the appropriate drive designator and/or pathname in
the command. For example, to see what is in the root directory

of the diskette in drive A, type the following and press Enter:

DIR A:\

To display the contents of the WORDPROC\ PERSONAL

directory (on drive C), type the following and press Enter:

DIR C:\WORDPROC\PERSONAL
