Using MS-DOS With Your Computer
Your computer comes with version 3.3. of MS-DOS. This
operating system manages your computer by organizing the
computer’s memory, controlling the monitor display, receiving
keyboard input, and accessing data.
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 plan to
use it just to run application programs, the few MS-DOS
commands you’ll need are introduced in this chapter. If you
need more information, see your MS-DOS Reference Manual
for a complete description of MS-DOS.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Starting and exiting MS-DOS
Using drive designators
Types of MS-DOS commands
Entering an MS-DOS command
Creating and managing files
Using directories
Formatting diskettes
Backing up data
Using special Epson utilities
