Showing our ages, aren't we? Yes, I use to use MS-DOS quite a bit. My favorite command would have been SHELL. In fact, I liked the DOS-SHELL associated with MS-DOS 5.0 and later better than WINDOWS. The DOS-SHELL was a text based user interface, which as a concept was superior to WINDOWS in that it was small, fast, simple, and DID NOT CRASH! If MicroSoft had wanted a superior product they could have made later 16, 32, & 64 bit versions of this that were also updated for modern software. Alas, it was not to be.

Yeeees, I remember MS-DOS! It is the first operating system they tought me in highschool. I remember a few commands: MD "name" was used to create a new directory CD "path" to go to the specified directory EDIT "name" to create a new file VIEW "path" to open a file DEL "path" to delete the specified directory...

sure i remember. because i learn computer starting with DOS 6.22 i learn how to copy file, formatting diskette, making directory. start learning programming using turbo basic, and qbasic. and now i still use this command prompt the most command i use now in my xp command prompt is ping and nslookup. and other network command like ipconfig etc.

Well I remember DIR and to list the files in a directory and its many variations such DIR/W to display a wide list and DIR/P to paus a long list. I also remember DISKCOPY that copies the whole disk in a drive. Of course there is also FORMAT.

I rememer MS-DOS i havent used it in yeas I dont even remember most of the commands anymore, its been so long

yes, actually I was learn it when first time using my computer. I still remember all ms dos command.

The main ones I remember are DIR and I think CHDIR, to change directory. And I used to use some commands to list errors and show disk usage.

yeah...of course, I don't using MS-Dos after "Windows" comes. autoexec.bat, the console that I remembered..lol

Some of them would be ........ CD--- CHANGE CIRECTORY MD--- MAKE DIRECTORY.. RM--- REMOVE DIRECTORY... DATE--- DATE COMMAND TIME --TIME command and rest of them have been already posted by users above...

One of the oldest language of Microsoft.MS dos was disappeared after the arrival of Windows XP.I still remember some of the basic commands like DIR,FORMAT,etc,.

I remember it. And I remember mostly what a pain it was and how bad the programs were back then. The GUI is probably the single thing that got most people into computing. I eventually got switched to a Mac, and as far as I'm concerned, that was the second best invention. No, I'm not trying to start an argument, just my honest opinion. :-)

Yes, is an old system, but I love't; dir, mem, chkdsk, scandisk, edit, format, sys, copy, rem, mkdir, ....

I remember MS-DOS well and I even remember learning to program in BASIC when I was a kid. Recently I decided to rediscover some computer games from my childhood, mostly the Sierra games like Quest for Glory and some Lucas Arts stuff. I had to run them through DOS-Box and use all the old commands again like CD for Change Directory. It was a blast.

I still have a copy of MS-DOS 6.22 on a CD that I have stored. It can be useful if someone acquires an old computer because I would install DOS and then either Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 for them. The command that you quote as an example would list the files and directories in the directory that you were currently in, with the P presenting the data a page at a time. More common commands are copy, del, fdisk, format and so on. Many of the commands are still in use in the command prompt mode.

I remember it quite well. It is know called the command prompt. the commands I used were cd, md, del, rd, edit, dir, dir/p, dir/w, and most of all help.

i use it regulaire these days,like most people use it when installing a OS i most use the command format c:/q and cd.. and cd "directory" i also use the copy and del and del tree functions quite often

i remember only the standard commands such as: format, chkdsk, fdisk, fdisk/mbr, dir, scandisk, usually used command for formating, repairing and installing operating systems like windows 95/98/me ... i was no interested in other commands.. that's all i remember.

Of course MS-DOS was the dominant operating systems then in 80s. I too like working on DOS. I still work on DOS and i will be working on DOS. I still use DOS for formatting drives, applying attributes to folders and files and listing directories etc. Its part of my everyday work on computers. How can i forget that much valuable OS. I use a lot of commands of DOS like deltree, move, attrib, format and a lot of commands. I really love that. One more thing. I can unhide the folders using DOS, which are hidden using some folder and file hiding softwares. That was the coolest part.

Think I am too late now for the commands list has already been cut n paste! haha. Don't you just hate guys who take the fun out of discussions by cutting n pasting the answers from another webpage??? Odd... lol. I remember the cd.. and cd/ and I remember dir /w or just dir and I remember being able to copy and format too hehe.. I could only do the basics.. thank the Lord for Windows! haha.
