- *** BABY-STEPS TO DOS ***
-
- ▀ A Step-By-Step Tutorial
- ▀ On DOS, Batch Files,
- ▀ DOS Macros, Color Codes
-
- Baby-Steps To DOS is written for anyone wishing to learn the language
- that makes the computer operate (run).
- Without DOS (Disk Operating System) the computer could not operate...
- it would be a useless piece of hardware.
-
- As an experienced DOS instructor and author I have found that
- the most productive course is to teach in BABY STEPS.
- This means use the commands in a way that they show what they do and
- how they do it.
-
- This is accomplished by having the commands produce small programs
- that can be observed on the screen. For example, if you want to
- change the color of the screen... you write the command... and then
- watch the color of the screen change. From this, you add other
- commands, like copy a disk, format a disk, or list the contents of
- the directory..
-
- This sequence increases in BABY STEPS ... and finally, you can make
- the computer do many things from simple steps, added to other simple
- steps. From this you will learn that you can tell the computer what
- you want it to do, and not the other way around.
- Knowing DOS puts you in command of the computer.
-
- In this tutorial selected DOS commands have been edited and rewritten
- in "easy-to-understand" English. Commands are explained and then used
- in the lessons. The DOS commands are used to create programs. In this
- way you learn not only the command... but actually see what
- the program does. This is excellent for learnig DOS commands.

- BATCH FILES
- Batch files are small programs.

- uses Batch files to teach Color Programming and creating
- Keyboard Macros.
-
- MAGIC KEYBOARD

-
- WHAT DOS DOES BEST

- your program menus.
