Make sure you have enough formatted diskettes to back up the data on your

hard disk drive. It can take about 25 720KB diskettes to copy a 20MB hard
disk drive that is completely full (although it is rare that you would store this

many files on a hard disk).

Note

BACKUP formats unformatted target diskettes if you use the /F switch

when you enter the command. See the description of the BACKUP
command in your MS-DOS manual.

See your MS-DOS manual for complete instructions on using BACKUP

Using the Epson HELP Utility

The Epson HELP utility provides on-line information on MS-DOS
commands. You can use HELP in one of two ways:

l

You can type HELP at the command prompt and press

Enter

to display

the HELP menu.

l

You can bypass the menu by typing HELP plus the name of the
command you want information about.

Note

The HELP utility requires two files, HELPCOM and HELPTXT. These files

are located on your Operating 2 diskette. To run HELP from the hard disk,

you must be logged on to the directory that contains these two files. If you
copy HELPCOM to another diskette or to a directory on your hard disk,
you must also copy HELPTXT to the same diskette or directory.

To use the HELP menu, follow these steps:

1. Type HELP at the MS-DOS command prompt and press

Enter.

2. The screen displays a menu of MS-DOS commands. Use the cursor keys

to highlight the command you want information about and press

Enter.
