MS-DOS help and Commands

About MS-DOS :

  

Short for Microsoft Disk operating system, MS-DOS is a non-graphical command line
operating system created for IBM compatible computers that was first introduced by Microsofft in August 1981 and was last updated in 1984when MS-DOS 6.22 was released. Although the MS-DOS operating system is not commonly used today, the command shell used through Microsoft Windows is.

Unlike Microsoft Windows, which most users are familiar with today, MS-DOS requires the user to type commands instead of using a mouse. The image to the right is an example of
what an MS-DOS window more appropriately referred to as the Windows command line
looks like under Microsoft Windows.
