Creating Directories
The MKDIR command lets you create directories. To create a
LEDGER directory under your root directory, for example, type the
following and press
Enter:
MKDIR\LEDGER
You can abbreviate the name of this command to MD. For example,
to create a SALES directory under the LEDGER directory, type the
following and press
Enter:
MD
\ LEDGER\ SALES
Removing Directories
To delete a directory from a disk, use the RMDIR command (or its
shorthand equivalent, RD). For example, to remove the directory
ACCOUNTS, which is subordinate to the directory LEDGER, you
could log onto the LEDGER directory, type the following, and press
Enter:
RD
ACCOUNTS
A directory must be empty before it can be deleted. If it contains any
files or subdirectories, attempting to delete it will produce an error
message.

To change from one directory to another, use the CHDIR command,
or its shorthand equivalent, CD. For example, to change to the root
directory from anywhere in the directory tree, type the following and
press
Enter:

If you are in the LEDGER directory and you want to change to
