Dir Command; Dir Myfile.txt - Sanyo MBC-550 Series User Manual

The DIB (Show Directory) Command
If you want to know what files are on your disk, you
can use the DIR command.This command tells the opera­
ting system to display all the files in the current
directory on the disk that is named. For example, if
your disk is in drive A: and you want to see the list­
ing for the current directory on that disk, type DIB
and then depress the RETURN key.
A listing of the files on that disk with their size
(expressed in bytes), the date each was created or
changed and the time of the creation or changed will
appear.
If you have two drives, you may obtain a directory on
drive B: by typing in DIR B: and then depress the
RETURN key.
You can also get information about any file on your
disk by typing DIR and a filename. For example, if you
have created a file named MYFILE.TXT, the command
DIR MYFILE.TXT
will give you a display of all the directory informa­
tion (name of file, size of file, and date of creation
or modification) for the file MYFILE.TXT.
