Go quickly to a directory, make it a drive
Go quickly to a directory, make it a drive
Changing directories and loading files sometimes requires typing in long path statements. You can shorten the process by assigning a drive letter to commonly used directories. Then, when you want to access the directory, just enter the drive letter.
To do this, you'll need a copy of the MS-DOS utility SUBST.EXE.
- 1. First copy SUBST .EXE from a MS-DOS Version 5.0 diskette to your Palmtop. (It does not come with the Palmtops subset of DOS 5.0 utilities.)
- 2. Then edit your config .sys file by opening Memo and typing (MENU) File Open, key in a:\config.sys and press (ENTER).
- 3. Find the line that says lastdrive= and edit it to say lastdrive=M, you can replace M with any letter up to Z.
- 4. Save the file by pressing (MENU) File Save (ENTER) and answer Yes when it asks to replace the file.
- 5. Edit your autoexec.bat by pressing (MENU) File Open , type in a:\autoexec.bat and press (ENTER). Insert the following line after your path statement: subst h: a:\games
Now, instead of typing the full path, you can reach this directory by typing the letter of the virtual drive you have just created, followed by a colon. For the above example, you would type in H: instead of A:\GAMES.
