Using the XTREE Utility

Epson has included the XTREE program with MS-DOS to make it easier for you to manage files and run other MS-DOS programs. XTREE is fast and easy to use. It lets you do the work of many MS-DOS commands using a convenient menu format, and provides several features not available elsewhere in MS-DOS.

XTREE displays a window that shows your directories and subdirectories in a tree-structured diagram, so you can quickly see the organization of your files. When you highlight a filename, XTREE displays the file’s statistics in another window to the side of the screen.

At the bottom of the screen, XTREE displays a menu that lists the functions you can perform by pressing the corresponding letter. Among other things, these XTREE functions let you:

Display all the files in a directory and the statistics for each file

Copy, delete, or move files individually or in groups, to any directory or diskette

Make new directories, rename directories, delete empty directories, and change from one directory to another
