Following is a brief explanation of a few DOS functions. If you want a
detailed explanation of all the DOS commands, refer to your DOS user
manual.
Starting MS-DOS
If you are using a hard disk with DOS already installed, the computer
will "boot" or start itself.
If you are using a floppy disk drive, insert the DOS system disk in drive
"A" and switch on your computer. You will see a message similar to
the following:

For the new date, key in the month, day and year, separated by
hyphens. Press <Enter>.
