How can I get the DOS level window to list all the DOS
commands available in the XP operating system?
 
type the command "help" (without quotations) in a command prompt box. I
will list a lot of commands. Don't know if it is all or not.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Go>start\run and type in cmd and click ok or hit enter on your keyboard then when the Command line interface opens type in Help and hit enter on your keyboard. Then to get the parameters type in a command and then /? and a list of the parameters will be displayed. For instance type in start /? and make sure you put the space after the start and before the /? . Good luck.
 
I just tried this.
(type the command "help" (without quotations) in a command prompt box)
The DOS window only stays open for a few milliseconds!
Now what?
 
Start , Run... type cmd. That will open the command line
window. Then type help
To close the window either click the X or type exit.

Check in the c:\windows\system32 directory check all of the applications with a dos symbol. It is best to check out what they do by typing the command and /? which will give you a clue.

Click to expand...

For the most informative information(I know this isn't what you asked for
directly):

Start | Help, then type in "cmd prompt" in the search box

You should see a group of links. Select the command line reference a-z and
you'll find more commands than you'll ever remember, including Ping.
