Command Summary:

This is MEC*DOS. It is very much like the MS-DOS for IBM. It operates much like it and allows for simular features. This is NOT COMPATIBLE with any other ATARI DOS. The program uses the 3 letter extension for filing purposes and some extensions you might use are illegal. Please see each section for comments concerning the 3 letter filename extension.


SUB DIRECTORIES:

MD - Make Directory (MD name)
CD - Change Directory (CD name)
RD - Remove Directory (RD name)

Wildcards are illegal when Sub-Directories are in use.

In order to file a program under a directory, save the file with the extension .F and the number of the directory. The 'F' stands for a file, the number represents the directory number. Directories are represented by a .D and the directory number. The MAIN directory is 1 , subs are from 2 on. There can be no directory inside directory.

To move to the previous numbered directory, type CD .., CD with 2 periods. To go to the main directory, type CD \, CD backslash.
