Windows 95 and DOS

Starting Paint from the Run Command or DOS Prompt

SUMMARY: Windows 95 Paint is not called paint from the DOS prompt. Confused?

If you want to run the Windows 95 Paint applet from the "Run" Start Menu command or from the DOS prompt, remember that the program's filename is not Paint. Rather, the filename is MSPaint. Will the other applets become MSNotepad, MSDate, and MSCalculator soon?
