Cl Using the MS-DOS Shell program CI Using the Epson HELP utility Cl Using the Epson MENU utility Cl Using an AUTOEXEC.BAT file Q Starting an application program. The information presented in this chapter assumes you are running MS-DOS from the MS-DOS command prompt, not from the MS-DOS Shell program. If you plan to use Shell, see the MS-DOS Shell User's Guide for a complete description of how to execute commands using Shell. Starting and Exiting MS-MDOS Before you can run an MS-DOS application program, MS-DOS must be running in memory. If you have prepared your hard disk according to the procedures in the MS-DOS Installation Guide, MS-DOS loads automatically from your hard disk whenever you turn on your computer (provided you do not have a diskette in the diskette drive). Before you turn off the computer, make sure the MS-DOS command prompt (such as C> or C : \ >) appears on the screen. Then remove your diskettes, turn off any peripheral devices, and turn off the computer. Changing the Current Drive MS-DOS identifies the hard disk as drive C and the 3 '/z-inch diskette drive as drive A. If you have an external 5 %-inch diskette drive, MS-DOS identifies that drive as drive B. 3-2 Using MS-DOS With Your Computer
