by Perfesser Jack Ascii
Filename extensions:
.BAT a batch file, a program to run other programs.
.COM a command file, a program to do some task.
.EXE an execute file, a larger program to do a more complex task.
To run any of above, just type the filename. Extension unnecessary.
.BAS a BASIC program requiring an interpreter, such as GWBASIC, QBASIC.
To run, QBASIC filename
.TXT, .DOC, .DOX are text or documentation files.
To read, TYPE filename.ext
There are much friendlier text readers, such as BROWSE or LIST. To use these,
BROWSE.COM or LIST.COM must be on your disk. TYPE already exists in DOS. You
can't hurt a file by reading it, tho some files may be in Gibberish.
MD fn makes a subdirectory named FN
CD fn changes to subdirectory FN.
RD fn rids subdirectory FN. The subdirectory must be empty (DEL *.*) and you
must be in the parent directory (FN <DIR> will appear as a filename).
\ (backslash) separates directories\filename.
