If you type "CMD" it will give you the Windows command prompt, if you type "COMMAND" it will give you the DOS prompt.

-----------------------------------------------------------

on Win XP, there is a "command" and a "cmd". Here's
the visible difference between the two:

c:\>cmd
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

c:\>command
