ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL

DOS ENHANCEMENTS

The default FORMAT has provided is the standard Apple default which un—enhanced DOS’s INIT command would use. Therefore, simply type:

<RETURN>

Next FORMAT will inquire:

HI FILE? HELLO

FORMAT isn’t trying to be cute, it’s just that a short prompt like “HI FILE?” allows a full 30 character file name (allowed under DOS) to he typed all on one line. The “hi” file is the “hello” or “greeting” program’s name. For now, just type:

<RETURN>

to use the default (“HELLO”).

The last thing FORMAT will ask is:

INVOICE HELLO FILE HOW (A-C)? A

A)RUN <HI FILE>

B)BRUN <HI FILE>

C)EXEC <HI FILE>

FORMAT is giving you a little option which standard DOS’s INIT does not provide. This is discussed further in a later section which deals with each utility separately.
