My Amiga came with two manuals
(Intro & Basic) which do not answer
any questions about the DOS commands
available. I need a source with
which I can obtain more info, a book
would be great. Current questions
are: How do I obtain a DIR on any-
disk besides WORKBENCH.
How would I start a program on
one of my public domain disks.
HELP-I'M REALLY GETTING AGGRAVATED!
Currently I am running 1 drive, and
it seems that everything is set up
so that you need 2 drives,,,HELP!!

2. Reboot (to be sure) and open the system subdirectory (by double-
clicking it's icon. This will open a CLI window where you can type
commands like on a boring old PC.
3. Typing DIR will give you a directory listing (so will LIST)
4. All available commands are in a directory called C:

everything). If you've any specific problems or queries I'll
be glad to help
