I'm an old guy. (Maybe a lot of us are.) I still call it "the DOS window" in
my head, I think because I predate Win 3.1; for a long time I was a plain DOS
user (the PC DOS, not the early mainframe DOS). Win 3.1 wasn't really a
Windows operating system as it's understood now; DOS was the OS, and Win 3.1
sat on top of it as ISPF sits on top of TSO, providing a user interface.
So for quite a while I did a lot of work in "the DOS window" even after Windows
was around. Still do, from time to time, when I want a particular kind of file
listing ("dir xyz*.docx>x.txt") or file rename. Or (non-encrypted) FTP.
Yeah, I meant what I guess is now cmd.exe

Is "DOS" the same as "cmd.exe"? The latter seems clearer.
