| 147949 | 2003-05-27 10:01:00 | Do you mean commands for the command prompt? Me handing you a list wouldnt teach you it, rather its probably best if you look up an online tutorial. For MS-DOS, here's a few basic ones: cd XXXX Change Folder to XXXX cd.. Go up one level copy XX.XXX c:\dirname copy's file XX.XXX to c:\dirname\ del XX.YYY deletes file XX.YYY move edit xcopy and there's a myriad of others, hope that gets you started :-) mostly they're simply apps on the boot disk if you're referring to Format.com :-) Cheers Chill. |

| 147950 | 2003-05-27 10:45:00 | To be honest, I wouldnt bother 'learning' DOS, you need it so infrequently these days, that you are better off simply finding a text file listing the commands and look them up if and when you need to... Chilling lists the basic ones, however cd<anything> is actually all the same command. cd XXX will change to directory XXX, but XXX must be a sub directory within the current directory. cd\XXX also changes the directory, however XXX must be the full path name excluding the C:\ . and .. are special identifiers in DOS, . refers to the current directory, and .. refers to the root directory one level up. A lot of commands will accept the /? switch and give you a list of options. Iain |
