Creating Files

All your data and programs are stored in files. A data file stores
information, such as words, numbers, or pictures. A program file
stores instructions that the computer can understand and
execute.
The kind of file you can create depends on the MS-DOS
command or application program you use to create it. In general,
a data file that you create using an application program is stored
in a special format. If you use a different application program to
read that file, you may encounter problems.
Once you create a file, you need to give it a name. You must
name your files in a certain format MS-DOS requires.
