Epson Equity IIe, User Manual

Page: 98 / 276

See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for more information on
the command format and for command descriptions that
explain which parameters and delimiters are required and which
parameters and switches are optional for each command.
You can enter an MS-DOS command whenever you see the
MS-DOS command prompt. Type the command name and any
parameters and delimiters. You can type command names and
parameters in either uppercase or lowercase letters. Then press
Enter
to execute the command.
If you make a mistake when typing a command and you notice
it before you press
Enter,
you can do either of two things:
Use the backspace key to delete the error
Press
E
SC
and then
Enter
to cancel the current command
line and move to a new one.
Then reenter the command correctly.
If you press
Enter
when a command line has an error in it, the
screen displays an error message. Usually, the MS-DOS
command prompt reappears so you can try again. Type the
correct command and press
Enter.
Setting the Date and Time
The real-time clock in your Equity IIe constantly tracks the
correct time and date-even when the computer is turned off.
To adjust the time for daylight savings time, you can use the
MS-DOS TIME and DATE commands. See your MS-DOS
Reference Manual for instructions. The Equity IIe automatically
changes the date for leap years.
