- To help shift from VMS to DOS, this short cross reference is supplied for
- the most frequently used commands. Logical names are called "environment
- variables", and are ASSIGNed and DEASSIGNed by the SET command. Command
- procedures are called "batch files". Directory names use "\" rather than
- [, ".", and ], so its "\SYSHELP\EXAMPLES" rather than "[SYSHELP.EXAMPLES]",
- for example. Also, there is no equivalent to the "-" directory wildcard.
