DOS command

An instruction that DOS and Windows execute from the command line or from a batch file. A variety of internal commands, such as Dir and Copy, are built into COMMAND.COM, located in the \DOS or \WINDOWS folder. Many external commands, such as Format and Xcopy, are individual executables that reside in the \DOS or \WINDOWS\COMMAND folder.

DOS commands are still widely used in Windows by programmers and power users. Quite often, a typed-in command can perform an operation much faster and much easier than dragging and dropping icons in a GUI interface.
