Preliminary research for creating users in MS-DOS

[willMchugh]

This is for the preliminary research section in my CA, i need to compare linux and windows. At the moment i am using debian compared to MS-DOS, is there any tips that you can give me on how to go about creating shell scripts in MS-DOS to automate the creation of users and assigning them to groups.

Thanks
Will

Notepad has been included in Windows since the very first version.  Has to be on your computer.

Regardless of that I prefer to use Notepad++ because it highlights keywords and has other useful features that help with writing many different types of scripting languages.

If in strictly DOS you could use EDIT such as EDIT ThisText.txt which will create ThisText.txt and whatever you type into it is saved  in the end if you save it etc. There were some other text editors for DOS many many years ago, but I mainly used EDIT.

If you are in Debian instead of MSDOS you could use a Linux editor such as VIM https://wiki.debian.org/vim

However I havent created any content for MSDOS from a Linux environment before and all my editing in linux is for Linux application.

Looks like it should work according to here: http://www.howtogeek.com/199687/how-to-quickly-create-a-text-file-using-the-command-line-in-linux/
