COMMAND EXAMPLE(S) SWITCHES COMMENTS

FASTHELP C:\>FASTHELP Lists and brieﬂy describes every command provided with MS-DOS.

This list is much less detailed than the list you get using the HELP

command.

C:\>FASTHELP DIR Speciﬁes the name of the command that you wish FASTHELP to

give information about, in this example, DIR.

FORMAT C:\>FORMAT A: Formats a disk for use with MS-DOS.

C:\>FORMAT A:/S /S Transfers system ﬁles to the formatted disk. You can boot from the

ﬂoppy of a disk formatted using this switch.

HELP C:\>HELP Starts the MS-DOS command reference located on the CC1’s hard

disk.

C:\>HELP DIR Speciﬁes the command whose help topic you want to display, in

this example, DIR.

MD C:\>MD 9700 Creates a directory. The example creates a 9700 directory.

MORE C:\>DIR C:\DOS | MORE Displays one screen of information at a time. Can also be used with

the TYPE command when viewing a long text ﬁle. The symbol is

called a redirection operator. On the keyboard, it is located above

the backslash (\) symbol.

PATH Indicates which directories DOS should search for executable ﬁles.

By default, DOS searchers just the current directory.

RENAME or

REN

C:\>RENAME C:\9700\TEST.*

TESTALL.*

C:\>REN C:\9700\TEST.* TESTALL.*

Changes the name of the ﬁle or ﬁles you specify. Specify the name

and location of the ﬁle or ﬁles to be changed. The last part of the

command speciﬁes the new name. You cannot specify a new drive

or path.

TYPE1 C:\>TYPE C:\9700\TEST.MON Displays the contents of the text ﬁle you specify. You must specify a

directory path if the location of the ﬁle is in a directory other than

the one you are in.

C:\>TYPE C:\9700\TEST.ALM

| MORE Here the MORE redirection operator is used to enable us to view

the alarm ﬁle (usually quite long) one page at a time.

UNDELETE C:\>UNDELETE C:\9700\TEST.BAT Restores ﬁles that were previously deleted using the DEL

command.

C:\>UNDELETE C:\9700\ /LIST /LIST Lists the deleted ﬁles that are available to be recovered, but does

not recover any ﬁles.

C:\>UNDELETE C:\9700\ /ALL /ALL Recovers deleted ﬁles without prompting for conﬁrmation on each

ﬁle.

RMDIR or

C:\>RMDIR NETWORK

C:\>RD NETWORK

Deletes or removes a directory. Before the directory can be deleted,

it must contain no ﬁles or other subdirectories. The directory must

be completely empty except for the “ . ” and “ . . ” symbols.

VER C:\>VER Displays the current version of DOS on your machine.

TREE C:\> TREE Displays the directory structure of all the directories on your hard

drive if it is issued while in the root directory; otherwise, it will dis-

play only the subdirectories of the directory you are currently in.
