Changing the Directory
Up
until now,
we've only considered
the
"root"
level
of
the diskette directory
.
An
empty
disk
contains one
directory
,
the
root
directory.
If
you create
a file
on an empty
disk
,
then that
file appears
in the
root
directory
.
However,
directories
can also contain further
directories
(sub-directories). Each
directory
may contain files, further
directories,
or
both
.
Any filename is
unique
within its own
directory, meaning that
a filename can
be repeated
in
different
directories. For
example,
the
file "program" can exist in
directory
A,
and be
completely
different
from
the
file "program"
in directory
B.
This
filing structure ensures
that two people
sharing a
disk
can
name their
files as
they
see fit
without having to
worry about
overwriting
any other files on
the
disk,
as
long
as
they keep their
own
directory.
You can also
use
the
filing structure
to
organize
different types
of
files
in
different directories
on
the
disk
.
To see
the directory level
at which you are currently
positioned in
your
directory
tree
,
use the
command:
