<br />3/13/95 <br /> <br />B-C PROGRAM: Mini-Tutorial <br /> <br />Files and Directories <br /> <br />Disk Drives <br /> <br />Most computers have at least one hard drive and one floppy drive. The <br />hard drive is the disk inside the computer on which programs and data <br />are normally stored and retrieved magnetically. Data is both retrieved <br />from the hard drive (e.g., to run a program) and written onto the hard <br />drive (e.g., to store a Benefit-Cost Program file). By default, the hard <br />drive within the computer is known as the C drive. Computers with large <br />hard drives may also have the drive partitioned into other parts, such as <br />D, E, and F. For this mini-tutorial, think of the hard drive within your <br />computer as a single file cabinet with several drawers. <br /> <br />Often, a computer also has one or two floppy drives on which files can <br />be stored on portable disks. The floppy drives are usually known as the <br />A and (if there is a second floppy drive) B drives. Usually, floppy drives <br />are named from the top to the bottom or left to right of the computer. <br />Thus, the upper floppy drive is the A drive, the lower floppy drive is the B <br />drive. Likewise, if the floppy drives are arranged horizontally. the left <br />drive is the A drive, and the right drive is the B drive. <br /> <br />To Change Drives To save a file on a different disk drive, click on file (in the menu on the <br />top line of the screen), then click on Save As... <br /> <br /> <br />In the lower part of the screen, click on the down arrow to the right and <br />slightly below the Drlxes: area of the screen. Click on the desired drive. <br /> <br /> <br />Jiijj] c: ms-dos <br />I!iilI a: <br />liiI b: <br /> <br />r:::: c: ms-dos 6 <br />--. <br /> <br />14 <br />
