At the bottom of the screen, XTREE displays a menu that lists the functions you can perform by pressing a corresponding letter key. 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

Display data in both ASCII and hexadecimal format

Display how much space is available on your disks.

Running XTREE

To run XTREE, log onto the directory where you have stored the file XTREE.EXE. Type XTREE at the A> or C> prompt and press

Enter.

A title screen appears while XTREE reads your disk’s directory, and then the XTREE menu appears.

When a directory is highlighted in the upper window, the

DIR COMMANDS list is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This list shows you the commands you can use to perform directory management operations. When you press Enter to switch to the files in the bottom window, the FILE COMMANDS list is displayed instead. This list shows you the commands you can use to perform file management operations.

You use the cursor keys (the four arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End), letter keys, function keys, Ctrl, and Alt to perform various functions in XTREE.

You use cursor keys to select files and directories. To select a file or directory, use the arrow keys to highlight the name of the file or directory. Press Enter to move the cursor from the directory (top) window to the file (bottom) window. Press Enter again to expand the file window, and press Enter one more time to return the cursor to the directory window.
