Using MS-DOS With Your Computer
Your Equity LT-286e comes with version 4.01 of MS-DOS.
MS-DOS manages the routine work of your computer system,
such as keeping the computer’s memory organized, controlling
the screen display, accepting keyboard input, and directing
external communications.
To communicate with the operating system, you use MS-DOS
commands. How much you need to know about MS-DOS
depends on how you plan to use your computer. If you use it
only for running application programs, the few MS-DOS
commands you need are introduced in this chapter. If you use
advanced features or create your own programs, see your
MS-DOS manuals for a complete description of the features of
the operating system.
This chapter describes the following MS-DOS functions:
Starting and exiting MS-DOS
Changing the current drive
The MS-DOS command format
Entering MS-DOS commands
