But we were on the subject of being pedantic. I'm just pointing out that the OP 
never stated that cmd = DOS and for all we know, he may actually be looking for 
a DOS solution to his problem :)

  A lot of people refer to the CMD.EXE prompt as "DOS commands", etc.
There's actually quite a lot that NT's CMD can do that DOS cannot.
Trust me, I know: Until recently we still had a DOS-based CNC system, and I 
occasionally had to fix the PC side of things.  How quickly we forget how bad 
things were.
