The command-line syntax for "dir" is the following:

command.com /c dir

Every internal command is run with "command.com /c <internal_command>".

I think DOS is dead and Windows 95++ too, so "cmd.exe" is a better way
to execute DOS commands now.

Agreed. cmd.exe is a better choice, but the question was explicitly about
DOS. ;-)

Kevin,

The "suits" are going to lecture you about the need to proactively
anticipate the client's needs. :-)

Ok, just kidding. Thanks to you and Alex for the response.
