Shortcut You can also type the letters cd for the chdir com-
mand to save time. For example, the following commands are the
same:
cd \user\pete
chdir \user\pete
If you want to see the contents of the \ user \pete directory, you
can use the MS·DOS dir command. The subdirectory might look
like this:
Volume in drive A has no 1D
Directory of A:\USER\PETE
TEXT
F I LE1

<Dir>

Note that MS-DOS lists both files and directories in this output. As
you can see from the display, Pete has a subdirectory named text;
the u." refers to the working directory \user\pete; the u •• " is short
for the parent directory \ user, and filel. txt is a file in the
\user\pete directory. All these directories and files are on the
disk in drive A.
Note Because files and directories are listed together, you can-
not give a subdirectory the same name as a file in that directory.
For instance, if you already have a path \
user \pete, where pete is
a subdirectory, you
cannot create a file named pete in the \ user
directory.
How to Delete a Directory
If you create a directory and decide later that you don't want it Removing a directory
any more, you can delete it
with the MS-DOS nndir (remove direc-
tory) command.
The nndir command lets you delete any directory by specifying
its path,
but the directory must be empty except for the U." and
u •• " entries. This prevents you from accidentally deleting files and
directories.
