4.18 VAX Subdirectories

1. Use the SHOW DEFAULT command to display your current default directory.
2. Show the protection of your top-level user directory. Your name may be truncated. Spell it the way it was shown in the last step. (Hint: the username has a maximum of 9 characters.)

   DIRECTORY/PROTECTION [000000]username.DIR
   

3. Create a sub-directory called SUBDIR in your top level.

   $ CREATE /DIRECTORY [.SUBDIR]
   

4. Change your default to the newly created directory.

    
   $ SET DEFAULT [.SUBDIR]
   

5. Copy *.COM from the your top level directory [000000.username] to the new one. If you use the COPY/LOG command the names of the files will be listed as they are copied.

   $ COPY /LOG [-]*.COM *
   

6. Show all files you copied in with the DIRECTORY command.
7. Change your default back to your top level.

    
   $ SET DEFAULT [000000.username]
   or
   $ SET DEFAULT [-]            (Same as DOS cd ..)
   

8. Show all your files in all subdirectories, then list it to a file.

   $ DIR [000000.username...]
   $ DIR/OUTPUT=FILES.LIS [000000.username...] 
   

   (Do NOT forget the three periods. It lists all of the directories in your root directory.)
9. Delete all the files from the subdirectory.

    
   $ DELETE [000000.username.SUBDIR]*.*;*
   

10. Set the owner protection of SUBDIR.DIR to RWED and delete it.

     
    $ SET PROTECTION=(O:RWED) SUBDIR.DIR;* 
    $ DELETE SUBDIR.DIR;*
