  1. Got to the DOS mode.
    • From Windows Start, All Progrmas, select ‘’accesories’’ button, then select the \cmd button.
    • Another way is to go: Start , run, then type cmd in the open panel and OK.
    • Now set up your window size and fonts according to your choice.  Right-click on the “Command Prompt” blue pannel, and select “properties” from the drop-down menu.
    • From the options tab, select “medium” cursor, buffer size “50”, number of buffers “4”, display “window”.
    • From the font tab, select the “8x12” font.
    • From the layout tab, select window size of “80x60”.
    • From the color tab, select screen text “blue”, and screen background “white”.
  2. You have to learn about a dozen DOS commands.  Unlike Windows, there are no icons to click. You have to know the commands and use them intelligently.  A list of “DOS” commands is given
  3. You should go to the C: directory and then do a “>cd phy353”.  Then a “>dir’ command will show you the contents of the directory. The contents are shown when you click the “Runtime” button.
