No, it simulates the DOS environment with a command prompt window. True DOS has been virtually dead for a while now...and should be left that way.
My best code is written with the delete key.
i'm not looking to get into DOS programming or anything, I was just wondering... writing batch files is pretty boring...

If you dont like batch files, move on to the newer alternative - Windows Scripting Host - you can use either JScript, PerlScript or VBScript, you can make instances of ActiveX Objects (With Apps like Office, Internet Explorer, ADO...etc), you have loads of control over the OS (Registry, Active Directory...) and you can even create limited Com Objects with itOriginally posted by major_small
