- To help shift from UNIX to DOS, this short cross reference is supplied for
- the most frequently used commands. Shell variables are called "environment
- variables", and they are SET and UNSET by the SET command. Shell scripts are
- called "batch files". Pathnames use "\" rather than "/", so its "\usr\bin"
- rather than "/usr/bin", for example.
