DOS Directories and Files

Pause a Directory Listing

We can add a PAUSE command to our directory command which will allow us to view our directory one screen at a time.

Directions:

1. Type: dir/p and press Enter.

2. The screen freezes after it fills the screen with the files that are listed first in the directory.

3. Press the spacebar to continue listing you files.

4. Continue to press the spacebar until you return back to the C:\> prompt.
