new to dos prompt

[BrainStop]

As much as Windows evolves, the good old DOS window will keep a role.

Whenever I'm on the road and I need access to my network drives through a VPN, nothing better than the DOS prompt to do a "NET USE".

And you got to love those batch files!

It's like the administration of an HP-UX system ... you can use SAM or you can do it with nice and "simple" command line work!

Cheers,

Also- the net command is a good place to start.

I wrote a tut on MS-DOS in the tutorials section. It sucks, but you might like to look at it.
