The MS-DOS Shell Program
The MS-DOS Shell program allows you to execute many
MS-DOS commands and programs by selecting options from
menus. Using the MS-DOS Shell, you can run commands
without having to remember their exact syntax. MS-DOS Shell
makes it easy for you to manage files and directories. It is
especially useful for managing the data on a hard disk, where
you may have hundreds of files. For example, you can easily
view, create, move, rename, and delete files and directories
using MS-DOS Shell.
See your MS-DOS Installation Guide for instructions on how to
install the Shell program and see your MS-DOS Shell User’s
Guide for information on how to use it.
