Enter.

(Pathnames are described below.)

Using Pathnames

Whenever you want to access a file that is not in the current
directory, you must specify the file’s pathname. A full pathname

consists of one or more directory names separated by backslashes
and followed by the filename. The pathname tells MS-DOS where
your file is stored.
