File management programs give you the tools you need to copy files, delete files, and rename them. Again, depending on the operating system, the way you accomplish these tasks is a little different. In command line systems like MS-DOS the commands to copy, delete, etc. must be typed in. To copy a file in MS-DOS you would type something like the following at the prompt.
What this command would do is copy the file called myfile.doc from c: drive to a: drive (the diskette drive). In Windows 3.1,Windows 95, or System 7+ operating systems files may be copied by using the mouse to "drag and drop" the icon which represents the file. Of course, there are several ways to accomplish these tasks; pull-down menus may be used to copy, delete, or rename files for example.
