:question
I have simple question. Where can I leanr more about what code and
syntax that is valid under DOS? I know I COULD go to the store and buy a book
I guess, but I was hoping I could find SOMETHING on the web.

I am trying to learn more about working in DOS, and have found MANY sites
that list all of the valid command built into DOS, but I do not see much which
instructs of details the use of syntax/code (ex. tokens, do, %), and code structure.

Exactly what programming language would this be considered? A form of Basic?

I've DONE some programming in VB6 so I have a basic understand of programming
structure. I would like to change that.

Thanks for any guidance anyone can provideThis site is good - http://www.ss64.com/ follow the link for Windows NT/XP commands - it DEFINES syntax and gives examples.

If you really WANT to know how to use batch commands, this site is possibly the leading edge for tips and tricks - http://www.macalester.edu/~fines/batch_tricks.htm

This is another great site http://dostips.cmdtips.com/

It is not really a programming language, it is a scripting language and is nothing like basic; it is in a class of its own.

Have fun with it, it can really help you in your work
