Things
You
Can
Do
with
DOS
The rest
of
this chapter steps
you
through procedures
that
do some everyday tasks. Read
it
now
to
get
familiar with these commands and then
you
can use
it
to
refer
to
when
you
really have
to
do
that
task.
Just remember,
you
will have
to
substitute the names
of
your
own files for those
we
have used
here-it's
that
easy.
