Remember MS DOS?
I have a new computer (Win-XP), but I still keep my old one going (W98se).
I'm having troubles with my W98se one. Basically, Windows Explorer is not
functioning correctly... sometimes not at all! I've posted questions about that,
but the thread has been lost/deleted.
I'm hoping I can "skin the cat" another way... using DOS.

Q1. How do find out which version of DOS I have?
Remember I'm running Windows 98se.
Does that mean it must be using DOS X.X ?
Q2. Where can I find a DOS "refresher tutorial"?
I need to bone up on commands.
Q3. Is there a "directory tree" command... TREE or XTREE?

Thx
David

1) The VER command

I don't think the VER command will give you the version of DOS, but rather the
version of Windows, on a Win9x system.....evn if you boot to Command Prompt Only. I
may be wrong and I don't have my 98 system on right now. AFAIR Win98 had DOS 7.1
embedded.

3) As listed on pages mentioned above, the TREE command.

TREE is not incuded with later versions of DOS, though if you have a copy from an
earlier version it still works.
