echo You are about to create a NEW DIRECTORY, on the C:DRIVE, called
echo SCHOOL2. Following its creation, the entire HOME SCHOOL program
echo will be copied into that directory, as well as all of the records
echo that you have created. Basically, this means that TOTALLY EVERYTHING
echo that presently exists, in your HOME SCHOOL program, will be duplicated,
echo on the hard drive, and you can go to the SCHOOL2 directory, anytime,
echo and access all of the records that presently exist, in exactly the
echo same manner that you have been doing. This is nice for reference.
echo.
echo THEN - All of the RECORDS, (not the HOME SCHOOL program), will be
echo erased from this presently active directory, and you will have a
echo clean start, with a BARE BONES program, to start your next period,
echo year, etc. In this respect, the same thing happens as if you had
echo used the CLEAR option, except that the CLEAR option would not have
echo preserved your present directories contents in a NEW directory by
echo the name of SCHOOL2.
echo.
echo If you wish to ABORT this screen, without any action taking place,
echo press CTRL and C, at the same time, answer Y to the "Abort Batch Job?"
echo prompt, and you'll return to DOS. If ready to continue with the action
echo indicated, just press the ENTER key. You must be certain that you have
echo enough space on your C:DRIVE, to accomodate the total contents of your
echo present directory.

echo The SCHOOL2 directory has been created, and now contains the entirety
echo of your original directories contents, for your future reference.
echo Your present directory now contains ONLY the HOME SCHOOL program, with
echo all previous records having been erased. Press ENTER to return to the
echo DOS prompt. To resume the HOME SCHOOL program, simply type GO and
echo press the ENTER key, or you may terminate your HOME SCHOOL session.
