Hm, to copy a program from a floppy, type in 'copy disk/(program) /(program)' That will copy it /> As for an OS, that is very complicated and uses startup files and other files and stuff...

ok so you're saying that say i have a file called thingys on a floppy to put it onto the root of the terminal i just type in "copy disk thingys" and i can just type in thingys at the root menu and it will start up?

If you want to run a program from the disk just type disk/(program) and list disk for programs on the disk
With the OS: Start with a startup file. It get's loaded as soon as the computer boots. A good startup is the base of all OSes

To split it up it is,
Copy - this is the program
disk/thingys - the drive and file name
/thingys - / means the computer's drive and thingys means the filename. If the filenames don't match, it will make a folder and put it in it.
