	DOS Command: DIR
		In addition to files and directories, DIR also displays both the volume name and amount of free storage space on the disk (if there are files stored in the current directory).
		The DIR command is also useful if you want to know what directories have been created on the specified disk.
		When you use the DIR command, it will display all files that match the path and filename specifications, along with their size in bytes and the time and date of their last modification.

		If you append your DOS command line with a ">" sign followed by a file/device name, then the output from that program is redirected to the specified file/device.
		The output from each program is stored by DOS in a temporary file in the root directory of the default disk; so, there must be sufficient space on the disk to store these files.
		In the following example, the output from the DOS "dir" command is sent to the "find" command.

		When this command is entered either at a Windows DOS prompt or in a batch file you do not see the directory listing like you would if you had simply entered the DIR command.
