Well there's a help command in dos that spits back a list of commands.
Say you created a GUI that contained an address bar at the top like an
explorer shell, and in the window panel it had a series of links or
buttons to launch all the commands that are normally returned from the
help command. When you select an individual command it produces a dialog
box to receive your input, similar to the way we have dialogs for
creating tags in CF IDEs (that I never use personally, but... that would
be a reasonable analogy imo). I wouldn't be using the DOS GUI either.
