- the

operating system by Microsoft? In addition to the introduction

to MS-DOS provided in this manual, you’ll find a complete

reference manual for the operating system packed in the box

with the computer.

As a supplement to MS-DOS, Epson has included several time-
saving utilities that make MS-DOS easier to use: HELP,
MENU, and XTREE? The HELP program lets you display

information on the screen about any MS-DOS command.

MENU provides an easier way to run many of the most
common MS-DOS commands. XTREE is a file management
utility that simplifies all file and directory operations; it is
especially useful for managing data on a hard disk.

As your needs grow, so can your computer; you can expand
your system by adding a wide variety of options. You can install
most option cards compatible with the IBM
