Creating Directories

You use the MKDIR command to create directories. For example, to create a LEDGER directory under the root directory of the current drive, 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 the current directory is the LEDGER directory, you can create the SALES subdirectory with this command:

MD SALES

Listing the Contents of a Directory

You can use the DIR command to list the contents of a directory. To list the files in the current directory, type the following and press Enter:

MS-DOS lists the names of the files in the current directory on the current drive, like this:
