DOS REFERENCE

The following table provides a list of the most common DOS commands that you are most likely to use when operating the CC1. In addition, you can use the command HELP to access the MS-DOS command reference on the CC1.

NOTE: In DOS, the backslash symbol (“ \ “) used alone, refers to the root directory. The [..] symbol refers to the parent directory.

C:\>DEL A:TEST.MON
