A DOS Window is available......

In XP, go START RUN and type COMMAND (enter) and you're looking right at an MS-DOS
window. It even says so. Then type SET and it shows that it's really the NT OS. However,
good luck in booting to DOS. The closest you can get to that, is repeatedly tapping
the F8 key just before it first boots up into XP, and then choosing the menu selection
(I think) COMMAND PROMPT ONLY, and that boots to something like DOS. I think we're
looking at Windows running under DOS, instead of DOS running under Windows. The DOS
commands are all there; type HELP and see the variety of familiar commands.
Booting to this sucker is another story.
