Greetings Ngawai,

There are two ways on how to get the Command Prompt window (Dos window).
Here are the following ways:

1. Start > Run > command

or

2. Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

Jose Francisco

did you tell the OP that is the 16 bit version.

to use the 32bit with long file name support use run and then "CMD"

A MSDOS or DOS window will not be found in XP.
There is a command console mode if that is what you
are referring. Accessories > Command Prompt
