Don't forget the HELP command in DOS will prompt you with alot of the built in commands.
Using a /? will ofter provide help with the specific command such as XCOPY /?

Thank you coolguy2009.

I'm just thinking about your Experts-Exchange login name. In 2010 you might stop being cool, and people might think of you as the guy who used to be cool last year ;-)

One last thing, and you have probably discovered this already. To open up a *.BAT or *.CMD batch file in Notepad to view or edit it, just Right-Click on the file and choose "Edit".
