The following sections discuss the basics of creating and using

directories.

Note

The XTREE utility provides a simple

way

to see and organize

your directories. See the description of XTREE later in this
chapter.

The Default Directory

MS-DOS always recognizes one directory as the default or

current directory, just as it always recognizes one drive as the

default drive. The default directory is the one in which

MS-DOS performs your commands, unless you tell it to do
otherwise.

If you want to run a program or access a data file that is not

stored in the default directory, you can either change
directories (making a different directory the default) or include

a pathname in your command.

Changing the Default Directory

To change from one directory to another, use the CHDIR

command, or its shorthand equivalent, CD. For example, to
change to the root directory of the default drive from anywhere

in the directory tree, type the following and press

Enter:

CHDIR \

If you are in the WORDPROC directory and you want to

change to PERSONAL, a subdirectory of WORDPROC, type

the following and press

Enter:

CD PERSONAL
