Command prompt is the new name for MS_DOS prompt or just DOS promt. Before the "point and click" icons we see on our desktop were invented by Bill Gates and the Microsoft Corperation, basic lines of text were used to navigate through your computer. If you look above at the address bar you will notice that the letters also have the character "/" in there. When used in combination with basic text titles, you can make what's called a destination string. A destination string is just like a map is to you and I. "c:/windows/system" tells the computer to start in the "C Drive" and find the "Windows" file and open it. Now the computer looks at the last entry "System" and looks for that file an opens it. This is just an idea of what happens and why. If you would like to learn more, go find a book called MS_DOS for Dummies. It's about as much fun as watching paint dry, but it's the backbone programming to most Microsoft, Unix, and Linux systems. (I know nothing about Mac's)
