Simple DOS question.
What is the command to return to the root directory? I know very little dos and it seems I have forgotten this simple command. I am in C:\windows\win98fol and I want to go back to the C: command prompt.

Thanks

thanks for the tip. By the way, do you have any recommendations on any good DOS books. Dod for dummies was a waste of money.

thanks
