<b> What is the MS-DOS COMMAND PROMPT? </b>
</a>
<br>
We assume that you will initially be facing the
WINDOWS 95 operating system.  But for using the Turbo
Assembler, we need to fall back to the older operating
system called DOS.  WINDOWS 95 gives you access to this
DOS environment in the form of window called MS-DOS COMMAND
PROMPT (or MS-DOS PROMPT, for short).  You can usually get this
window from the start menu.  If not, is it probably
called <b>command.com</b> under the windows directory.
(This means you can also invoke this by typing
``command'' at the start->run menu.) To find out more
about DOS, see the next question. NOTE: <b>cmd.exe</b>
is the corresponding WinNT command prompt.
<p>
HINTS for MS-DOS PROMPT window:
Usually, this is just another window on
the Win95 desktop.   But to make this window
take over the entire screen, press ALT-ENTER.
You can return to the Win95 desktop
by pressing ALT-ENTER once more.
There are basic window functions (such
as making a copy of the window output)
you can do from the MS-DOS PROMPT.
To access these, left-click the icon on the left of the
title bar, or right-click the title bar itself.
