 |

I used the "dir" command in dos to list all the folders and file in that
directory. However, I want to go into a folder called "A" in the directory
just listed. What is the command for this at the prompt? |

Hi Richard
cd A
if the folder is directly off the folder you are currently located.

There is a nice program called Directory Lister for Windows that
generates a HTML page with whatever directories you want on a computer.
I use it, along with a search & replace to do most of the grunt work to
create index pages for photos or PDF files.

ChDir Statement
Changes the current directory or folder.
Syntax
ChDir path
The required path argument is a string expression that identifies which
directory or folder becomes the new default directory or folder. The path
may include the drive. If no drive is specified, ChDir changes the default
directory or folder on the current drive.
Remarks
The ChDir statement changes the default directory but not the default drive.
For example, if the default drive is C, the following statement changes the
default directory on drive D, but C remains the default drive:
ChDir "D:\TMP"

You could use:
C >DIR A\*.*
to get a directory of the folder without actually changing to it,
or you could use
C>CD A
To switch to the A folder (the prompt would then be CA>)
And then just plain "DIR"
