OK I did that,.... and this is what I get with W-XP-Home addition:
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 5C03-2A89
Directory of C:\CAROLS STUFF\WAV
---------THAT WAS ALL!!!!---- and the second time I got this:
All Users
-------------------------------------
There was "NO LIST" of the over 200 wav files in the folder. Just 2
useless txt files as seen above.
My Dummies book lacks these DOS commands or they're not listed in the 4
different index pages.
