subdirectories just as you have to specify the drive or log onto
a different drive to access files on different disks.

Copying from one subdirectory to another

You can also copy files from one subdirectory to another

with the COPY command. Simply specify the pathname for the

file you want to copy and for the subdirectory to which you

want the copy to go. For example, to copy LETTER1 from the
LETTERS subdirectory to the MEMOS subdirectory, type the

following and press

Enter:

COPY \ LETTERS 1 LETTER1 \ MEMOS

Your word processing or other application program may

have other methods of creating and changing directories, but
the descriptions of commands and pathnames above should
help you organize your files in any application program.

If you want to make extensive use of subdirectories, see the

following subjects in your MS-DOS manual: XTREE, PATH,

and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

Starting an Application Program

After you have loaded MS-DOS, you can start using an

application program. Remove your MS-DOS diskette from

drive A and insert your application program diskette. From

this point on, the documentation that comes with your

application program will give you instructions on how to use it.

Once you start using your application program, the

MS-DOS command prompt disappears. Instead, you see the
prompts and screens that are unique to the application
program. When you finish using and exit the application

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