How can I find valid commands for Command Prompt window?

[Guest]

I know how to get help for a particular command prompt command. It's the
command with a /? like cd /? However, how can I get a list of all the
commands available at the command prompt. I could have sworn that the old DOS
command was either HELP or MENU, but neither of them seem to work.
Thanks,
Ken

You can find this in Help and Support, under Command-line reference.

At the command prompt, type HELP and press enter.

One more thing - the HELP command gives a list of the standard command line
command. There are other commands that can be entered, but aren't documented
by HELP. What are you trying to do?

Typing "Help /?" at the Command Prompt is a pretty good starting point.
