    Well let me say that I have try to create many command for this, but have not been able to come up with one that really works, please help.

    1)If I assume a batch filed named quest2.bat has the command:Copy %1 %2 What can I type at the Dos prompt to execute the bath file and complete the copy?


    2)What command do I need to compare the contents of two folppy disk?

    3) Write a command to change the location of myfile.txt from the subdirectory a:\practice to the subdirectory a:\quest.

    4)What would the problem most likely be with the command: Diskcopy c: a: Is this a command to copy the hard drive. It was given to me but I do not want to try it in my computer before I know what does it do.

    Hi, Pit ~

    There is a nice command-line help & switch info module buried in XP. Paste the following into 'Run'.

    %windir%\hh.exe ms-its:c:\Windows\Help\ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds.htm
