How do you get to a dos prompt from windows xp??

You don't. No NT-based OS has ever been built on DOS. There's a command
console, but it's not the same thing at all.

This will get you the command prompt:
Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK

You could have told them how to get to a command prompt.

Greetings --

WinXP, like its predecessors WinNT & Win2K, is a pure 32-bit GUI
OS, and does not include or "ride upon" any version of DOS, as did
Win3.x & Win9x/Me. WinXP does include a command-line emulator for
those times when GUI applets are unnecessary/redundant, but it cannot
be started in "DOS mode." The closest they have is the Command
Prompt window.

Start > Run > Cmd.exe....
