AmigaDOS stores information in the same hierarchical structure as Workbench. AmigaDOS commands have specific rules that you must follow when creating and programs to run on your Amiga. You must be familiar with the terms specific to the file system and with AmigaDOS command concepts to successfully use AmigaDOS. This chapter describes the following:

  • Managing files, directories, and disks
  • Command line basics
  • Types of commands
  • Command structure
  • Special characters
  • Running programs
  • Refining your AmigaDOS environment

Specific commands are fully described in Chapters 6 and 7 of this manual.
