Basic DOS commands

C:
Go to the C: drive. Similarly A: and D: etc.

---------------------------------------------------
CD
Change directory. When you change directory, the prompt changes, showing the path of the directory you are currently in.

Note, directory is the term used by DOS for what Windows calls a folder.

CD\ takes you to the top of the directory tree (typically to C:) .
CD.. moves you one level up the directory tree (i.e. up towards the root directory).

CD takes you to that directory. You can use one or more subdirectory names, separated by \ e.g.
CD WINNT\Media takes you to the directory C:\WINNT\Media

To change to another path, type the full path with slashes. e.g.
CD \WINDOWS\SYSTEM

-----------------------------------------------------

CLS
Clear the screen.

------------------------------------------------------
DIR
Displays the contents of a directory (folder).
Note, directory is the term used by DOS for what Windows calls a folder.

These switches can be combined, so DIR /W /P will return multiple rows listing a page at a time.

You can use the '*' and the '?' wildcards to search for a particular file. The ? character represents ONE character, and the * character represents multiple characters.

DIR *.* lists all the files in a directory.
