PID is the Process IDentification number
C:\>tasklist

C:\>mkdir /?
Creates a directory.

MKDIR [drive:]path
MD [drive:]path

If Command Extensions are enabled MKDIR changes as follows:

MKDIR creates any intermediate directories in the path, if needed.
For example, assume \a does not exist then:

    mkdir \a\b\c\d

is the same as:

    mkdir \a
    chdir \a
    mkdir b
    chdir b
    mkdir c
    chdir c
    mkdir d

which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled.

Do your own homework.  We don't provide homework assistance here.

errr. yes we do...


In either case- I think the "task number" might be akin to a "question number" or something, since I don't see a PID or process handle being applicable to something as simple as creating folders.

Not according to Nathan.

Just for any other people out there who need homework help, one or two questions is ok usually, but please, for the love of God, Google it first, read your textbooks, do your part! All I gotta say

they googled. Besides, they aren't asking for help DOING the homework, they're asking what a "task number" is.

Okay, just checking, remember I'm new here too and still getting accustomed...
