Entering MS-DOS Commands
You can enter an MS-DOS command whenever you
see the A) prompt. This means that you type the
command name and any necessary
parameters, and
then press
Enter to execute the command. Parameters
include items that identify the data to be processed
and switches that alter the effects of a command.
You can enter command names and parameters in
either uppercase or lowercase letters. However, you
must separate command names and parameters with
delimiters; most commands require spaces or commas
as delimiters.
If you make a mistake when typing a command and
you notice it before pressing
Enter, you can do one of
two things:
Use the backspace key to back up and correct the
error,
Press ESC to cancel the command line.
If you press
Enter and a command line has an error in
it, you see this message:
Bad command or file name
Then MS-DOS displays the command prompt so you
can try again. Now type the correct command line
and press Enter.
