To Print Whatever You Type
To Start DOS Again

If you have a printer and want to
print whatever you type and what the
computer displays, press and hold the
Ctrl (Control) key and then press the
Prtsc (Print screen) key. Then release
them
both. Now, each time you press
the
Enter key or the computer
displays a line, the line will be printed
("echoed" on the printer).
To stop echoing
to the printer, press
the Ctrl and Prtsc keys again.
This is
different from shift and Prtsc.
Shift and Prtsc prints a whole
screen's
worth and then is done. But
Ctrl and Prtsc prints one line at a
time, line after line, until
you press
Ctrl and Prtsc again
to stop the
printing.
If you want to start DOS over from the
beginning,
put your DOS Diskette into
drive A:. Then press and hold
down
the Ctrl (Control) and Alt (Alternate)
keys and
then press the Del (Delete)
key. Then release all three. Remember,
you may see this called System Reset.
After a bit, you'll see the DOS startup
message.
