Changing directories

Copying from one directory to another

Deleting a directory.

You may also want to read about Shell, an MS-DOS program

that makes it easier to perform these functions, as well as others.

You can use Shell to generate a visual diagram of your

subdirectory structure, to move quickly between directories, to

add and remove directories, and so on. Shell is described in the

MS-DOS Shell User’s Guide.

Listing the Contents of a Directory

To list the files in the current directory, type

DIR

and press

Enter.

MS-DOS lists the names of the files in the current

directory on the current drive. If you are logged onto drive C

but want to see a directory of the files on the diskette in drive

A, type

DIR A:

and press Enter.

A directory listing looks like this:

Volume in drive C is DOS400

Volume Serial Number is 3728-0CF6
