<h1>Overview of DOS Commands</h1>
<p>
Before you use the Command Line Tools in Windows, you should be familiar with using the command line interface in a Command Prompt window. The table below describes some of the basic DOS commands. For a complete list, open a Command Prompt window and type:
<span class="programlisting">
help
</span><br/>
For more information about any of the commands, or to see additional parameters, type:
<span class="programlisting">
help <i>command name</i>
</span><br/>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> When you are using DOS commands, you can use either lower- or uppercase letters.
