I have a long file let's say 'autodeskliteview', for some reason,I can not cd and look into this file from DOS at all. Please give help me to understand why and the solutions

thanks
 
When in DOS mode try typing autode~1
the problem is DOS does not recognize anything over 8 characters long. So it takes the first 6 and appends a number afterword. James Collins
