Command Prompt
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Cmd.exe.
cmd.exe, also known as Command Prompt or Windows Command Processor, is a shellprogram on later versions of Windows (NT and CE families), OS/2, eComStation, ArcaOS, and ReactOS. In some versions of Windows (CE .NET 4.2, CE 5.0 and Embedded CE 6.0) it is referred to as the Command Processor Shell. Implementation differs between operating systems, but with significant consistency of behavior and available commands.
