How to Get Help on a DOS Command

SUMMARY: Display help on a particular DOS command in Windows 95.


 

In DOS version 6.xx and below, you could type in HELP doscommand to get help on that command. That doesn't work in Windows 95 as Windows 95's DOS does not normally include the HELP command. You can, however, enter in a dos command at the prompt and add the parameter '/?' to get help on the command.
