Printing Text Files
If you have a printer attached to your computer, you can print
text files with the PRINT command. In general, you will
probably use application programs to print files, but if you need
to print a text file from the MS-DOS command prompt, follow
the steps below.
To print a text file named STATS.NBA on drive C:
1. Make sure your printer is on and ready to print.
2. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and
press
Enter:
PRINT C:STATS.NBA
MS-DOS prompts you for the name of the printing device
connected to your computer. (This is usually the name of
the communications port that the printer cable is
connected to, such as LPT1.)
3. Type the name of the device, such as
LPT1,
and press
Enter.
MS-DOS prints the file on your printer.
See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for more information on
the PRINT command.
Using Directories
You can store many files on a diskette, and a hard disk can
store many more. To help you organize this much information,
MS-DOS lets you subdivide a disk into logical units called
directories. Directories allow you to arrange your disk so that files
of similar type or purpose are kept together.
