Subject:Re: Windows NT Exploring--Help! DOS QUESTION From:"Backer, Corinne" <CBacker -at- GLHEC -dot- ORG> Date:Mon, 14 Jun 1999 11:37:57 -0500
I have never gotten the hang of using DOS for these little things, even
thought it seems to be the way to go. Is there a good "DOS for Dummies" or
"100 things you can do with DOS" guide anywhere?
Thanks
