I am new to command prompt but the F.A.Q.'s do not seem to answer my question
When command prompt OPENS it displays as

C:\Documents and Settings\Danny Gurganus Jr>

I need to type in C:MSC\EXAMPLES\cube>mvc cube.mv

I can't type this in because the whole documents and settings and my NAME and the > sign are there. How can I start from a blank line or from C: ?

Thank you.I am using windows xpType "cd C:\"
If that doesn't work type "%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe" in the Explorer where C: is writtenCD = CHANGE disk
%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe is the PATH of the command promptIf you always want to start in C: than you can change the properties of the command prompt from "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" to C:

CD = Change disk
%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe is the path of the command prompt

No, CD = change directory

to change disk, just type the drive letter and a colon eg D:

C:\Documents and Settings\Danny Gurganus Jr> is the prompt. You don't type it.

Methinks you should study some more.
