Finding Out What is on Your Disk

If you want to find out what files are on a disk, you can list its directory
by using the <DIR> command. If you want to display the directory of
the disk in drive A, you would use the following command:
DIR A:
After you hit the enter key, all the file information will display on the
screen.
If you use the <DIR> command without a drive letter, MS-DOS lists the
directory of the disk in the default drive.
There are three ways to stop the screen from scrolling.
Ž pressing the <Ctrl> and the <S> keys simultaneous
Ž pressing <Pause>
Ž typing DIR/P to see one screen each time
