You don't directly write programs on the command prompt, but you can use programs to run commands off the command prompt. They're called batch files (or command files .cmd) There are a few guides for proper syntax in batch files, as well as ways to use the many commands. A lot of them can be found by typing "help" into the command prompt.
Batch files are simple scripts that do easy tasks, such as opening files, copying directories, and deleting files. You can make menus on them and open selective files upon startup too.
They don't even need to be compiled. Just use a text editor (Notepad or
another program designed for scripting) and write the commands with correct syntax. It's simple and runs line-by-line. Save it as a file with a .bat file name extension, or as a .cmd extension. The files are written in Microsoft DOS format.
