Epson 10020 User Manual

To delete an empty directory from a disk, use the RMDIR
command, or its shorthand equivalent, RD. For example, to
remove the directory ACCOUNTS, which is a subdirectory in

the LEDGER directory, type the following and press Enter:

RD \LEDGER\ACCOUNTS

If you are currently in the LEDGER directory, you can enter

the command as follows:

RD ACCOUNTS

Before you can store data on a new diskette, you must format it.

Formatting prepares the diskette so that MS-DOS can write to

it. You need to do this only once, before you use the diskette

for the first time.

You can reformat previously used diskettes. This process erases

all data on the diskette, however; so be sure you do not want to

save any of the data on a used diskette before you format it.

If you plan to use a new diskette to make a backup copy of

another diskette, you do not need to format it first; the
DISKCOPY program automatically formats a blank diskette if

it has never been formatted. (See the description of

DISKCOPY later in this chapter.)

The formatting procedure you use depends on whether you

have the Apex 100 or the Apex 100\20. Follow the

instructions below for your configuration.
