What are the commands in the command prompt?

Answer 1

You type help and go from there!

Go to START click on RUN and type in cmd. If you don't have RUN on your start menu, you can do this. Right click your task bar and click on Properties. At the top of this window click on 'Start Menu' and you should see 'Customize' on the right side, click on that and next window scroll down until you see 'Pictures' under that the check box for 'Run Command' should be there. Just click inside the box and then click apply. Hope that helps you and maybe alot of other people too.

The commands available at the command prompt depend on the version of the command prompt you are running. MS-DOS offers a command called "help" that will give you basic instructions on operating the command prompt. Additional commands will depend on programs that are installed on the system. Linux and UNIX terminals typically expect users to use "ls /usr/bin" to determine available programs, while MS-DOS is not as rigidly structured, so finding commands that may be available require searching through %PATH% (e.g. echo %PATH%; then performing "dir <pathname>" on each path to see what commands are available).
