' This example uses the MKDIR, CHDIR, RMDIR, and FILES statements to create
' a subdirectory, display its files, move to the root directory, and
' finally remove the new directory.
 
' To try this example:
' 1. Choose New Project from the File menu
' 2. Copy the code example below to the code window
' 3. Press F5 to run the example
 
 CLS                   ' Clear the screen
 MKDIR "\SECRET"       ' Makes directory called \SECRET on the current drive
 CHDIR "\SECRET"       ' Changes to directory \SECRET on the current drive
 
 OPEN "MESSAGE.DAT" FOR OUTPUT AS #1 ' Creates file in the current directory
 CLOSE #1
 
' Show a directory listing with MESSAGE.DAT appearing in the directory.
 CLS
 PRINT "List of the .DAT files in the current directory:"
 PRINT
 FILES "*.DAT"
 
 KILL "MESSAGE.DAT"    ' Delete the file MESSAGE.DAT from the disk drive
 CHDIR "\"             ' Change the current directory to the root of the
                       ' current drive
 RMDIR "\SECRET"       ' Remove the directory \ECRET from the current drive
