6.4. Alphabetical Reference to DOS Commands

Most of the following commands are not standalone applications (like those listed in Chapter 4), but rather internal functions of the Command Prompt (cmd.exe) application. This restricts their use only to the Command Prompt application. (They won't be recognized by the Address Bar or by Start Run.) Some items that are standalone programs, but are normally used only in the Command Prompt window, such as xcopy.exe and move.exe, are listed here rather than in Chapter 4.
