Answer» Hello!
I am now the proud owner of an old Medion Pentium-1 with 32MB RAM memory and installed DOS v7.10 (but it also have Win95 working on it).
The Win95 is capable of turning the LapTop OFF.
But INSTEAD of the Win95 - I usually work only in plain DOS,
so I'm wondering can I do a Power-off (or shutdown) of my LapTop from DOS by EXECUTING some kind of a command that will power-off my laptop like the Win95 does?
Best regards
Brana
It was not a requirement in the MSDOS days as COMPUTERS all had physical power buttons, but a QUICK google shows this link which MENTIONS a utulity.

When no application is open then the only thing that is running is command.com and TSRs in RAM. It's safe to turn off the laptop at any time then.
