Creating a New Directory
You can create a new directory (or new drawer)
in
whatever current directory
you are working in with the MAKEDIR command:
MAKEOIR newdrawer
Now,
if
you issue the OrR command, you'll see there is an entry for:
newdrawer (dir)
The RENAME command can also be used to move a file from one directory
(drawer) to another on the same disk:
MAKEOIR newdrawer
RENAME FROM today TO newdrawer/today
moves the file from the current directory into the newdrawer you have created.
To see that
it
's really been moved, issue the command:
OIR
and
it
isn't there. Then issue the command:
DIR
newdrawer
and AmigaDOS looks
in
the newdrawer, and shows you that the
file
named
"today"
is
there.
Is My File Somewhere on This Disk?
To try this command, your copy
of
Workbench should be
in
drive
