![Switches
A switch is a code, or parameter, that modifies a command. DOS switches use a forward slash
(not a backslash) followed by some letter, digit or code. For example, the /w changes the Dir
command to list "wide" across the screen instead of in a column:
dir list in columns
dir /w list across the screen
Switches always begin with a "/". Switches allow you to modify the default operation of specific
commands. If you use the modifier /? in a command, it will show the help command with all the
switches available. One useful function of the SWITCHES command is if you are using older
applications with a new enhanced keyboard you can use the /K option to cause the keyboard to
act like a standard keyboard.
Type: Internal (5.0 and later)
Syntax: SWITCHES= [/K][/F][/N][/W]
Purpose: Used in the CONFIG.SYS file to configure DOS in a special way; for example, to tell
DOS to emulate different hardware configurations.
Options
/K - Causes an enhanced keyboard to act as though it were an older standard keyboard.
/F - Removes the two-second delay that occurs when the Starting MS-DOS ... message is
displayed on the screen (DOS Version 6 only).
/N - Disables the F5 and F8 keys during system start-up (DOS Version 6 only).
/W - Tells DOS that the WINA20.386 file has been moved to directory other than the root
directory.
Example
To cause your enhanced keyboard to act like an older standard keyboard, enter the following line
in your CONFIG.SYS file:
switches=/K](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/comppractical-150612082155-lva1-app6892/85/Comp-practical-7-320.jpg)

- 2. Difference betweenInternal and External Commands 1) Internal commands are those commands which are contained in command.com files of MS-DOS whereas external commands are those commands which are not in-built in MS-DOS. 2) Internal commands are built into the command interpreter whereas external commands are not included in the interpreter. 3) There is no need of any external file in computer to read internal MS-DOS command but there is a need of an internal file in the computer to read external MS-DOS command. 4) Internal commands do not vary from system to system but External command may vary from system to system. 5) Internal commands are ver, time, del, md, cd, copy con, cls, date, vol, ren, copy etc. and external commands are deltree, xcopy, diskcopy, more, print etc.

- 6. The MS-DOS File System MS-DOS is a bigger and better version of CP/M. It runs only on Intel platforms, does not support multiprogramming, and runs only in the PC's real mode (which was originally the only mode). The shell has more features and there are more system calls, but the basic function of the operating system is still loading programs, handling the keyboard and screen, and managing the file system. The MS-DOS file system was patterned closely on the CP/M file system, including the use of 8 + 3 (upper case) character file names. The first version (MS-DOS 1.0) was even limited to a single directory, like CP/M. However, starting with MS-DOS 2.0, the file system functionality was greatly expanded. The biggest improvement was the inclusion of a hierarchical file system in which directories could be nested to an arbitrary depth. This meant that the root directory (which still had a fixed maximum size) could contain subdirectories, and these could contain further subdirectories. Links in the style of UNIX were not permitted, so the file system formed a tree starting at the root directory. It is common for different application programs to start out by creating a subdirectory in the root directory and put all their files there (or in subdirectories thereof), so that different applications do not conflict. Since directories are themselves just stored as files, there are no limits on the number of directories or files that may be created. Unlike CP/M, however, there is no concept of different users in MS-DOS. Consequently, the logged in user has access to all files. To read a file, an MS-DOS program must first make an open system call to get a handle for it. The open system call specifies a path, which may be either absolute or relative to the current working directory. The path is looked up component by component until the final directory is located and read into memory. It is then searched for the file to be opened. Although MS-DOS directories are variable sized, like CP/M, they use a fixed-size 32-byte directory entry. It contains the file name, attributes, creation date and time, starting block, and exact file size. File names shorter than 8 + 3 characters are left justified and padded with spaces on the right, in each field separately. The Attributes field is new and contains bits to indicate that a file is read-only, needs to be archived, is hidden, or is a system file. Read-only files cannot be written. This is to protect them from accidental damage. The archived bit has no actual operating system function (i.e., MS-DOS does not examine or set it). The intention is to allow user-level archive programs to clear it upon archiving a file and to have other programs set it when modifying a file. In this way, a backup program can just examine this attribute bit on every file to see which files to back up. The hidden bit can be set to prevent a file from appearing in directory listings. Its main use is to avoid confusing novice users with files they might not understand. Finally, the system bit also hides files. In addition, system files cannot accidentally be deleted using the del command. The main components of MS-DOS have this bit set.
