I don't think there's a 'proper' way to learn MS-DOS. My first conputer was an IBM 360/65 running a timeshare simulator called RAX, heck, the first programming test I ever took was to see if I could hold a 1401 punchboard at arms length, so I'm a proper dinosaur. > Eek! (He makes the sign to ward off demons!) I still do most of my software development (bioinformatics in Java, mostly) on my Linux box and move things to the Windows box only for integration testing. The Linux box tends to feel a little slower than the Windows box but development is faster as I don't crash it near as often. While working hard on the Windows platform I'll crash the development environment 2-3 times a day, losing anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour's work each time. At least it's not my money, if they want me to work there they can pay my rates for the time.
