Poppycock! They all work; some of them (FOR..IN..DO, SET, others) have
"extensions" that make them significantly more powerful than they were
under DOS. Here's a list of commands:

Looks great, but how do you run them? I tried CHOICE in a .BAT file under
4DOS and under CMD.EXE, neither recognized it. In fact, CMD.EXE reported:
"'choice' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
Doesn't run at a "Command prompt" either, though the page heading is:
"An A-Z Index of the Windows NT/XP command line."
By the bye, Carl, while I have your attention, any recommendation of the
best-performance setting for Control
Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Advanced Memory Usage as between Programs
and System Cache? I had checked System Cache, but Googling it I found one
guy suggesting Programs.
Thanks,
Harry
