Note

MS-DOS provides several commands that

make using

pathnames easier:

APPEND lets you set a search path for data files and

executable files so MS-DOS knows where to find them
even if you don’t specify the drive and directory.

PATH lets you specify a search path for commands and

program files so you don’t have to type a full pathname

every time you want to run an application program or an
MS-DOS command.

SUBST lets you substitute a drive letter for a directory
path, which is convenient if you frequently type long
pathnames.

See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for information on

these helpful commands.

Creating Directories

You use the MKDIR command to create directories in

MS-DOS. For example, to create a LEDGER directory under

your root directory, type the following and press

Enter:

MKDIR \

LED

G

ER

You can abbreviate the name of this command to MD. For
example, to create a SALES directory under the LEDGER
directory, type the following and press

Enter:

MD \L

E D

G

E R

\

S A L E S

If you are currently in the LEDGER directory, you could create
the SALES subdirectory with this command:

MD SALES

In this case, you do not need to specify the path to the

LEDGER directory because it is the default directory.
