You have just moved to the DOS4 subdirectory. The two
<DIR > entries indicate that you are currently logged onto a disk subdirectory. The period (.) entry represents the current directory, while the double period (..) entry represents the parent directory for the current subdirectory. These shorthand entries allow you to move up and down through a directory tree rapidly. To see how these shortcuts work, enter the command series:
C>CD..
C > D I R
You will see that you are back in the hard disk root directory. Now return to the DOS4 subdirectory by entering the
c o m m a n d :
C > CD DOS4
