Billrich, you did know we have a policy of NOT doing people's homework for them? Or is that you just don't care?

Dias de Verano, I'm new to the DOS area and have read no rules about homework?   Where are those rules written?  How  do we know a question is homework?  Is Dias de Verano a Professor of Hope?

I cannot find the rules that a Hope.com member is not allowed  to answer the question.  Please give me a link to the rules.

Actually, it's more like an advisory...

We try not to help with homework. If this is what you are after, please at least be honest and don't try to hide the purpose for the question. Honesty sometimes gets results!

There?

At the top of ever forum is a post titled "Please Read This First"

Here is a link in case you missed it.

It doesn't say we won't help with home work it just we try not to because if we tell you how to do it you won't figure it out for your self and learn it

I also recommend using the quote tag rather then a semi-newsgroup quote format.

Code: [Select]

CD \WINDOWS
DIR *.EXE

Geek-9PM gave you a good start.  Now you have to figure out how to do the same thing in wide format and without changing directories

GuruGary,


C:\>dir /w  C:\WINDOWS\*.exe
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is B8F2-4B99

 Directory of C:\WINDOWS

explorer.exe   hh.exe         IsUninst.exe   notepad.exe    regedit.exe    slrundll.exe
TASKMAN.EXE    twunk_16.exe   twunk_32.exe   winhelp.exe    winhlp32.exe
              11 File(s)      2,227,506 bytes
               0 Dir(s)   1,171,197,952 bytes free

C:\>

yes, that's very nice billrich, but I think GuruGary was referring to cbegarly.


Giving a person the answer to something like this isn't helping them.

He's been told that a few times already, but seems to think he knows better. Still with that level of "help", the OP should flunk nicely.

But how did he or she get the answer? The original poster will have made no mental effort, and will have therefore not learned very much, thus defeating the purpose of the school test, which is why we don't like to do people's homework for them.
