In contrast, commands presented in the Courier New font are part of an instruc-

tion and intended to be typed.

Example: “Ty p e  to format the diskette in drive A.”

Filenames and directory names are presented in lowercase bold.

Examples: autoexec.bat and c:\windows

Syntax lines consist of a command and all its possible parameters. Commands

are displayed in lowercase bold; variable parameters (those for which you substi-

tute a value) are displayed in lowercase italics; constant parameters are displayed

in lowercase bold. The brackets indicate items that are optional.

Example: del [drive:] [path] filename [/p]

Command lines consist of a command and may include one or more of the com-

mand’s possible parameters. Command lines are presented in the Courier New

font.

Example: 

Screen text is text that appears on the screen of your monitor or display. It can be

a system message, for example, or it can be text that you are instructed to type

as part of a command (referred to as a command line). Screen text is presented in

the Courier New font.

Example: The following message appears on your screen:

Variables are placeholders for which you substitute a value. They are presented in

italics.

Example: DIMMx(where xrepresents the DIMM socket designation).
