key commands execute additional XTREE commands. Press the

the
Alt

the available commands and the key that executes each command on the
lower right of your screen.
Cautions
With a utility as powerful and as fast as XTREE, you must always be aware
of the danger of accidentally erasing important files. Follow these guidelines
to protect your files:
l
You can cancel commands, even commands in progress, by pressing
F3.
This stops any function.
l
Use
Ctrl-A
(the attributes command) to give read-only status to all the
files in the directories. Then, in order to erase a file, you must first
remove its protection. (See your MS-DOS manual for details.)
l
XTREE is limited in the number of files and directories it can handle. If
you have more than 2800 files or 180 directories, XTREE displays an
error message. If you see this error message, exit XTREE and store your
infrequently used files on diskettes, or reorganize and delete some
directories. If you use XTREE when you have more files or directories
than it can handle, you may accidentally erase or alter files.
Using an AUTOEXEC.BAT File
You may find that there are some commands you need to run every time
you turn on your computer.
To run a command or a series of commands automatically upon startup, you
can type the commands into a special file called AUTOEXEC.BAT When
