Oh yes, and remember you can still use the symbol to redirect output to something like a text file for later review, so, something like: help commands.txt would in fact send all that output to a text file in the current directory called commands.txt which you could then review later.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Dos Command
Right, that is even better, because you can later review the file and read it carefully. What is also possible is to activate Notepad or another text editor correctly installed by typing its name followed by the file name as a parameter. For example c: cd \ dir out.txt notepad out.txt or help out.txt notepad out.txt What it does not do with me, it doesn't bring me directly to the notepad window, I should go there by ALT+TAB.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Dos Command
Hi Mike, thank you very mach for your nice words. A technical note if I may say, it is not DOS it is windows command prompt commands we are talking about. True they resembel DOS once because Windows is an OS next to DOS. However, there are more than DOS commands, I mean some that were not present in the DOS times for example move whiche moves a file from place to place or simply renames files. In order to make sure you know how a command acts you may also type COMMANDNAME /? for example move /? Here I list some commands that were defenately not available in DOS Ping ip address/host name checks if another device with passed ip address or host name is present. Tracert ipaddress/hostname shows the root to reach a device Xcopy source location target location copies a folder with all its contents to the target.

David, I know that you have a lot to do managing the list with Rick and Bob, but do you think that this subject would be a place for the tips and tricks page? I used to do DOS programming on main computers years ago (I'm not telling my age) and due to the aging process, I forgot most if not all of the DOS commands. In the meantime, I will check out the ones that Jacob suggested. Thanks for all the good work that you all do! Take care. Lennie P.S.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Dos Command
Mike, Different versions of Windows may have different versions of DOS and therefore different DOS commands. All of the following commands should be executed at any DOS prompt. Incidently, if your JFW punctuation settings don't read all punctuation, you might miss some important symbols in the following list. Ordinarily, to go directly to the root directory of the current drive, type cd\ and press ENTER. Ordinarily, to change from one drive to another, type D: and press ENTER. (Substitute my D for the appropriate drive designator.) To get a listing of the DOS commands that are specific to your version of Windows, type help and press ENTER. To get more detailed info about individual DOS commands, type help commandName and press ENTER, or commandName /? and press ENTER. (Substitute the name of any legitimate DOS command in place of my commandName.) To get the results of these queries stored within a text file for future reference, use the following additional instruction with each. fileName.txt as demonstrated in the following example. help DOSHelp.txt and press ENTER. You might want to use the name of the DOS command as the name of the text file when/if storing the details of a single DOS command. Why? Because, the file will contain only that which would have been displayed on screen which does not include the name of the command being described since you have already typed it. hth Bob - Original Message - From: Mike Barbara mb69ma...@charter.net To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 10:43 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Dos Command Hi Again David, Jacob, Nikolay, Do you guys know where I can get a list of Dos commands?
