Starting and Exiting MS-DOS

Before you can run an MS-DOS application program, MS-DOS

must be running in memory. Follow these steps to load

MS-DOS:

Turn on your monitor and any peripherals, such as the

printer.

2. Turn on the computer.

If you have an Apex Plus, insert your MS-DOS system

diskette into the top drive and press any key.

NOTE

If you are using an Apex Plus 20, your system is set to boot

MS-DOS automatically from the hard disk when you turn on or

reset the computer. To boot from the hard disk, make sure that

drive A does not contain a diskette. You can load MS-DOS

from the diskette drive instead of the hard disk drive if you

insert your MS-DOS system diskette before you reset or turn on

your computer. Your computer, however, remembers that you

loaded MS-DOS from drive A and prompts you to insert the

system diskette whenever it needs to access a command.

If you have an Apex Plus, respond to the Date and Time

prompts, or press Enter twice to skip them.

Now you see the MS-DOS command prompt, which tells you

that MS-DOS is loaded and identifies the current drive. You

can now enter commands to instruct MS-DOS to perform tasks

and run application programs.

Always end your sessions with MS-DOS from the command

prompt. Then it is safe to remove your diskettes, turn off the

computer, and all peripherals.
