Note

MS-DOS provides several commands that make using pathnames easy:

APPEND lets you set a search path for date files and

executable files so MS-DOS known where to find them

even if you don' specify the drive and directory.

PATH lets you specify a search path for commands and

programs files; so you don't have to type a full pathname

every time you want to run an application program or an

MS-DOS command.

SUBST lets you substitute drive letter for a directory

path, which is convenient if you frequently type long pathnames.

See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for information on

these helpful commands.

Creating Directories

You use the MKDIR command to create directories in MS-DOS. For example, to create a LEDGER directory under your root directory, type the following and press Enter:

MKDIR \LEDGER

You can abbreviate the name of this command to MD. For example, to create a SALES directory under the LEDGER directory, type the following and press Enter:

MD \LEDGER\SALES

If you are currently in the LEDGER directory, you could create the SALES subdirectory with this command:

MD SALES
