pages (character sets) and redirect data from the

perform so many tasks from the Mode Settings
submenus, this option is a simpler alternative to

Using the XTREE Utility
Epson has included the XTREE program with MS-DOS to make it
easier for you to manage files and run other MS-DOS programs.
XTREE is fast and easy to use. It lets you do the work of many
MS-DOS commands using a convenient menu format, and provides
several features not available elsewhere in MS-DOS.
XTREE displays a window that shows your directories and
subdirectories in a tree-structured diagram, so you can quickly see the
organization of your files. When you highlight a filename, XTREE
displays the file’s statistics in another window to the side of the
screen.
At the bottom of the screen, XTREE displays a menu that lists the
functions you can perform by pressing the corresponding letter.
Among other things, these XTREE functions let you:
l
Display all the files in a directory and the statistics for each file
l
Copy, delete, or move files individually or in groups, to any
directory or diskette
l
Make new directories, rename directories, delete empty
directories, and change from one directory to another
