Creating directories
Use the MKDIR command to create a directory. For example,
to create the LEDGER directory under the root directory, type
the following and press
Enter:
MKDIR \LEDGER
You can abbreviate the name of this command to MD. For
example, to create the SALES directory under LEDGER, type
the following and press
Enter:
MD \LEDGER\SALES
To check that the LEDGER directory is in the root directory,
type
DIR
and press
Enter.
The screen displays a list of files in
the root directory, along with the new subdirectory:
LEDGER <DIR>
The
<DIR>
after a name identifies it as a subdirectory of the
current directory (in this case, the root directory).
Storing files in separate directories is almost the same as storing
them on separate disks. You have to specify the pathname or
change directories to access files in different directories just as
you have to specify the drive or log onto a different drive to
access files on different disks.
Changing directories
To change directories, type
CHDIR
(or
CD)
followed by a
backslash and the name of the directory. For example, to
change to the LEDGER directory, type the following and press
Enter:
CD \LEDGER
