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.
