-===== The Command Line ===== 
- 
-**CMD.EXE** displays a **[c:\]** prompt when it is waiting for you to enter a  
-command.  (The actual text depends on the current drive and directory as  
-well as your **PROMPT** settings.)  This is called the command line and the  
-prompt is asking you to enter a command, an alias or batch file name, or  
-the instructions necessary to begin an application program.  
-This section explains the features that will help you while you are typing  
-in commands, and how keystrokes are interpreted when you enter them at the  
-command line.  The keystrokes discussed here are the ones normally used by  
-**CMD.EXE**.  If you prefer using different keystrokes to perform these  
-functions, you can assign new ones with key mapping directives in **CMD.INI**.
