Joel:
Isn't the command prompt simply "command.com?" Do a search for that
filename, or better yet, go to Start=>Run and in the window type
command.com
and hit <ENTER>. I can't try that here because I have only Windows XP
available, where the command prompt is a menu item under
Start=>Programs=>Accesories=>MSDOS Prompt (which, come to think of it,
that might not be a bad place to look on Win 98).
HTH
Good luck,
Glenn
