You really need to take a crash course in DOS navigation.

You will start out with a prompt: C:\>

To change to a directory such as DOCUMENT, you would type:

cd \documents [ENTER]

Now the prompt will look like this: C:\DOCUMENT\>

Understand also that MS-DOS only recognizes 8 characters to the left of the dot (.) and three to the right (known as 8.3 format). If your directory name is longer than 8.3 format, or if it has spaces in it, Windows will translate it to an MS-DOS compatible name, such as:

"C:\My Documents\My Pictures" will translate to something similar to this:

C:\MYDOCU~1\MYPICT~1\>

The ~1 may be another number too

Now I could go on and on with this - but you need to find a DOS Tutorial and read... Anyone else have a good link to a DOS Tutorial handy?
