Note The file sizes and dates you see on your screen may differ
from the ones shown here, depending on your version of ms-dos.
Don't worry, though. Such variations do not affect the way you
use ms-dos or the way ms-dos responds to your commands.

You can also get information about any file on your disk by typing
the dir command followed by a filename. For example, to display
directory information for a file named schedule, you could use the
following command:
dir schedule
ms-dos would respond by displaying the filename schedule fol
lowed by the file's size in bytes and the date and time it was last
changed.
So far you have learned the basic background information that
you need in order to use the ms-dos operating system. In the final
three chapters of this guide you'll learn to make your computer
work for you, while you build a working knowledge of ms-dos.
