In the picture below, commands highlighted. cd = Change Directory so cd c:\ = change to C Drive then dir shows its contents :) 7106 |

At this time, I feel I haven't treated myself harshly or badly enough . I've just downloaded k3b . Let's see if I can really stir my grey matter . I STILL want a spellchecker in this 32 bit system . If I can't have it, I may add Puppy here as a dual boot and hope the dictionary IT has is cross-over-able to whatever I'm typing at the moment . |
