For some reason all of my commands like "tasklist"
and "taskill" which are in the "command reference" in help
are not found when I attempt to execute them. Do I need to
install them?? Thanks.

Hi

They are not available in WinXP Home, that might be the case for you?

Instead, you can e.g. use some freeware tools, e.g. the command line utilities
PsList.exe and PsKill.exe in the free PsTools suite at
