To list the files in a different directory on the current drive, type the pathname of that directory. For example, to list the contents of the LEDGER subdirectory while logged onto drive C, type DIR \LEDGER and press Enter. (Pathnames are described below.)

Whenever you want to access a file that is not in the current directory, you must specify the file’s pathname. A full pathname consists of one or more directory names separated by backslashes and followed by the filename. The pathname tells MS-DOS where your file is stored.
