Starting an Application Program

Any time you see the MS-DOS command prompt (for example, A> or C>), you can start using an application program. Just log onto the drive and directory containing your application program files (if necessary) and type the name of the program’s executable file. (See the documentation for your application program if you are not sure what to type.) When you press Enter, MS-DOS runs the application program.

When you exit the program, the MS-DOS command prompt reappears. Be sure to exit the application program properly and return to the command prompt before turning off your computer.
