Instant Command Help
« on: March 31, 2007, 02:16:44 AM »
Now, it seems like a lot of people need syntax help (for some strange reason) and for some other strange reason, they cant just use the Windows Explorer.

When you need help for a command, type the command in your prompt, and put /? after it

eg:

dir /?

it instantly lists the syntax commands, and how to use them...


I will probably delete this later... (1:16AM and bedtime for me)

And to continue:

When the instant, abbreviated help provided at the command line by
the   /?   switch is not enough:
