4 After a bit (depending on how long the file LETTER is),
you will see this on the screen:
1 File(s) copied
A>
5 LETTER has been copied and the copy has been given
the filename MEMO.
You can use the DIR command
to check, by typing this:
dir memo
Now press the Enter key.
6 Remove the diskette and put it away in its envelope
because
we are through with this example.
Copying a File to Another Diskette
Using One Drive
Remember, with only one diskette drive, you will need
to exchange diskettes while COpy is running. DOS will
tell
you when the change must be made by showing you
a message.
COPY's messages sound
as if you had two drives instead
of one. You should think of the messages as referring
to diskettes instead of drives.
For our examples, think of your original diskette as the ~
"drive A:" diskette. Think of the back-up diskette as
the "drive B:" diskette. (Even though you have no drive
B:, the command
is the same for one drive or two. The
computer keeps track of the real drive A: and the
"imaginary" drive B:.)
