B-2 The DOS Directory Shell

DOS Directory Shell Operation

You can access the DOS directory shell two ways. From the main menu you can
pull down the File menu and then select DOS directory shell. You can also press

[Ctrl–F4]

while you are in Edit mode. You cannot access the DOS directory shell

from the Toplevel Menu, Terminal mode, or while using the Shell to DOS feature.

DOS directory shell

QuickStroke: Main Menu Æ [Ctrl-F4]

The following figure shows the DOS directory shell with the main menu in the
background. To the right is a listing of the keystrokes required to execute specific
DOS commands. To the left is the listing of the currently selected DOS directory.
(Files and directories listed here are examples.)

Figure B.1 DOS Directory Shell

By pressing

[Shift–F10]

, a directory tree is built that replaces the directory list.

The directory tree shows all directories and subdirectories for the current drive.

IMPORTANT

Be aware that Shell-to-DOS and DOS directory shell are two
distinctly different features. Shell-to-DOS temporarily drops out
of the BASIC development software and takes you back to the
DOS level where you can run programs or execute DOS
commands.
