Epson LT-286 manual DIR A:

Six basic directory operations are described on the following pages:

•Listing the contents of a directory

•Using pathnames

•Creating directories

•Changing directories

•Copying from one directory to another

•Deleting a directory.

You may also want to read about XTREE, a utility provided by Epson that makes it easier to perform these functions, as well as others. You can use XTREE to generate a visual diagram of your subdirectory structure, to move quickly between directories, to add and remove directories, and so on. XTREE is described later in this chapter.

Listing the Contents of a Directory

To list the files in the current directory, type DIR and press Enter. MS-DOS lists the names of the files in the current directory on the current drive. If you are logged onto drive C but want to see a directory of the files on the diskette in drive A, type DIR A: and

press Enter.
