It is a way of issuing Windows commands. BN users generally use it to search for files, unhide or hide files, and run ipconfig. Basically, you issue a standard Windows command (well, only a small subset are supported), with a greater-than sign followed by a path/filename.ext (generally .txt) to which to print output. For example, this will unhide file.doc in the general folder:
/c attrib -h "flash disk\general\file.doc" > "flash disk\success.txt" 2> "flash disk\err.txt" It is not overly useful, but for computer geeks it is fun to use and is sometimes useful to find files.
