Epson 20020 Manuel D’Utilisation

If you want to access a program or file on another drive without

first changing the default drive, type the drive designator along
with the filename. For example, if you are logged onto drive A

and want to use a file named PROGRAM on drive C, you
would type the following and then press 

Enter:

C:PROGRAM

MS-DOS loads and executes the file named PROGRAM from
drive C, but stays logged onto drive A.

Each MS-DOS command is either internal or external. Internal
commands are commands that are built into MS-DOS and can
be used at any time once MS-DOS is loaded into memory.
External commands are separate program files stored on your
hard disk and MS-DOS diskettes.

If you display a directory of the files on your MS-DOS

diskettes, you see the names of the external commands but not

the internal ones. The following lists show which external

commands are on which diskette.
