Six basic directory operations are described on the following pages:
l
Listing the contents of a directory
l Using pathnames
l Creating directories
l Changing directories
l
Copying from one directory to another
l Deleting a directory.
You may also want to read about XTREE, a utility provided by
Epson that makes it easier to perform these functions, as well as
others. You can use XTREE to generate a visual diagram of your
subdirectory structure, to move quickly between directories, to add
and remove directories, and so on. XTREE is described later in this
chapter.
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.
