    If you have windows95 (not sure about later releases) the help command doesn't exist so you might want to look up a tutorial if that is the case.

    Thumbs up

    I know that DOS is going away from us, but as to why we would use it, I have a very pertinent answer! I bought a new hard drive this weekend, and the dang installation software didn't work...so I used DOS command to install, partition and format. Now this may sound like bragging....It is. I am a complete newbie, and in December I had never even opened my tower. So I was thrilled to be able to use DOS to take care of an aggravating situation....To me, DOS is very simple and straightforward, but then I don't have a lot of experience with other programming languages.

    You hit the head on the nose. Knowing DOS is a big help when dealing with a reformat or new drive set-up. I still use it alot, probably more than I should.
