| 1309293 | 2012-10-29 23:35:00 | Of course if Bryan can not print a list of directory names, Bryan might not know how to get into the DOS mode, would it be handy to know the operating system? I have Windows 7, I am not too sure how to get into the DOS prompt, give me Windows 98se anytime, I can do DOS things with that no trouble. Easy: Windows key + R to get command line, then type CMD then click OK to get a 'DOS' environment. Then type EXIT to close... |

Yeah pretty sure it's been that way even back in Win98 (Though IIRC it may have been 'command' but I do believe 'cmd' also worked). On top of that, the OP could have simply asked if they needed to know. |

| 1309296 | 2012-10-30 16:17:00 | OH DEAR HOW SAD NEVER MIND: (windows 7) This does not work, press 'Windows key' + 'r' (Run window pops up, with a ) type in 'dir' a windows pops up saying dir The file name is not valid . ARGH!!! BUT THIS DOES WORK: (Windows 98se) Click 'Start' -> 'Programs' -> 'MS-DOS Prompt' type in dir a long list of file names and folders comes up on the screen CONCLUSION: It seems to be easier to make something hard to do than it does to make something easy to do . |

| 1309298 | 2012-10-30 16:36:00 | Silly me, Now I have it, I forgot to type in 'CMD' first See this is where Microsoft has lost it, I wound have one input box for Open: (like it has, and another box for MS-DOS commands, either a button you click and it goes off to the black screen on DOS enjoyment world, or get there via a entry from the other input line. then you dont have to ask "what is the three character command you enter to get the DOS screen?" when or if you did not know. Like back in the 1994 when I was trying to learn the DOS commands on a 286 , a message came up "invalid file name or command" what it could of said as well "the command you just entered must be a new command equire at your nearest Microsoft sales for updated DOS version", but instead it left me thinking the book I was learning from had errors in it. |
