MS-DOS contains some commands that make using pathnames easier. The

APPEND command lets you set a search path for data files and executable
files. The PATH command lets you specify a search path for commands and

program files so you don’t have to type a full path name every time you want

to call up an application program or an MS-DOS command. The SUBST

command lets you substitute a drive letter for a directory path, which is
helpful when you use a long path. See your MS-DOS manual for more

information on these commands.

The MKDIR command lets you create directories. To create a LEDGER

directory under your root directory, for example, you would type the

following and press 

Enter:

MK DIR\LEDGER

You can abbreviate the name of this command to MD. For example, to

create a SALES directory under the LEDGER directory, you would type the

following and press 

Enter:

MD \LEDGER\SALES

To check that the LEDGER directory is in the root directory, type DIR and
press 

Enter. 

(You must be in the root directory; if necessary, see the next

section for instructions on changing directories.) The screen displays a list of
files in the root directory and the new subdirectory, LEDGER < DIR > .

The < DIR > after the name identifies it as a subdirectory of the current

directory.

Storing files in separate directories is almost the same as storing them on
separate disks. You must either specify the path name or change directories to

access files in different directories-just as you must specify the drive or log

onto a different drive to access files on different disks.
