ok the prompt tells yuo what drive and directory youre in:

so C:\> means your on the C Drive n the root directory (ie not in anything)

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP> means you're in the windows/temp folder/directory

DIR gives you a list of all the files where you are at the moment. 9the folers have <DIR> next to them (ignore the ones with one and wo fullstops)

to move to a directory you typ CD befoore it (so to move to windows director you type CD WINDOWS

if you type CD .. it brings you back a step

when you run the DIR command look for files eith BAT COM or EXE next to them... these are the programs you can run...

so say your sofatware is in the MAPPING folder...

c:\> CD MAPPING
c:\MAPPING> DIR

then itll list all the programs look for the program ones (probably EXE) so says its called startmap.exe

c:\MAPPING> STARTMAP

program should now run (in theory)
