IDEA : complete command line app with all XP commands
« on: December 18, 2009, 07:58 AM »

ASSOC    Zeigt Dateierweiterungszuordnungen an bzw. ändert sie.
AT       Legt eine Zeit fest, zu der Befehle und Programme auf diesem Computer

ATTRIB   Zeigt ....


Use "help |more" to stop the output after each page.

C:\>help |findstr /B "P"

PAUSE    Hält die Ausführung einer Batchdatei an und zeigt eine Meldung an.
POPD     Wechselt zu dem Verzeichnis, das durch PUSHD gespeichert wurde.
PRINT    Druckt eine Textdatei.
PROMPT   Ändert die Eingabeaufforderung.
PUSHD    Speichert das aktuelle Verzeichnis, und wechselt dann zu einem

@ Abterix - yes I am aware of that but want something simpler and quicker.

@ JennyB - thanks, I hadn't thought of that, I'll give it a try.
