Remove your diskette and put it back in its envelope.
Be careful about using global filename characters in the
"old" file specification. You may get unexpected results.
Changing back to the names you want may be more
tedious than renaming the files one by one in the first
r--..
place.
With Two Drives
If you have two diskette drives and already have
another diskette in drive A:, then insert the diskette
with STOCKS.DAT on it into drive B:. For step 3,
type this:
rename stocks.dat b:assets.80
Of course you must type b: with the dir commands in
step 5 also, thus:
dir b:stocks.dat
and
dir b:assets.80
For You to
Try
Try using the RENAME command on one of the files
that you copied (in a previous "practice" exercise).
