DOS INTRODUCTION
MS-DOS is the Microsoft disk operating system that runs the computer.
DOS uses commands that every personal computer user needs to know at
least a little about. The Windows environment makes it possible for you to

mands, but as you become more comfortable with computers you may want
to begin learning DOS.
