See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for more information on

the command format and for command descriptions that

explain which parameters and delimiters are required and which
parameters and switches are optional for each command.

You can enter an MS-DOS command whenever you see the
MS-DOS command prompt. Type the command name and any

parameters and delimiters. You can type command names and

parameters in either uppercase or lowercase letters. Then press

Enter

to execute the command.

If you make a mistake when typing a command and you notice

it before you press

Enter,

you can do either of two things:

Use the backspace key to delete the error

Press

E

SC

and then

Enter

to cancel the current command

line and move to a new one.

Then reenter the command correctly.

If you press

Enter

when a command line has an error in it, the

screen displays an error message. Usually, the MS-DOS
command prompt reappears so you can try again. Type the
correct command and press

Enter.

Setting the Date and Time

The real-time clock in your Equity 386SX constantly tracks the
correct time and date-even when the computer is turned off.
To adjust the time for daylight savings time, you can use the

MS-DOS TIME and DATE commands. See your MS-DOS

Reference Manual for instructions. The computer automatically
changes the date for leap years.
