Using Commands

In most respects, entering commands or running programs at the Windows Vista command prompt is the same as using the command prompt of any other operating system—MS-DOS, OS/2, Unix. If you’ve used one command prompt, you’ve used them all. Every operating system has a command to delete files, another to display lists of files, another to copy files, and so on. The names and details might differ, but it’s the same cast of characters.
