Re: Simple DOS Command Questions



Thanks for all your help! I'm now flipping around to different drives
and directories from the dos prompt. I guess I may have never learned
how before - back than I only had one drive as I couldn't afford
another. I copied everything by swapping, swapping, swapping...:-(

Now, due to low used prices, I have 4 drives and a HD !!! 

Best;
Marvin
