Where is the command prompt INTERPRETER

You have received answers. If you can't find them, perhaps... well, I
don't know Mozilla works!

The answer was already given.
Just in case in didn't show up for you, the command prompt interpreter is also
known as command.com in Win98.
On my Win98SE system, command.com is located in C:\. C:\Windows and
C:\Windows\Command\EBD.
In Win2000, I believe it is known as CMD.exe. Not too sure about that one
though.

You said you were dual booting: what are the OSs? (98 and XP----98 and 2000 etc)

Linux

Linux and what?
Google is your friend.
Perhaps a Linux newsgroup might be more helpful, but either way, you should try
to give more informantion so that potential responders have an idea of what the
problem really is.
Best of luck.
Ex: what you are trying to do, the two OSs, error messages, boot manager type,
???

So you know what "command interpreter" is.
In Linux it is /bin/bash in DOS it is command.com.
Both guess from user scribbling what to do.

I'm lost. I get a screen that says C:\. What should I type in for the
command prompt interpreter.

the C:\ screen IS the command interpretor

DOS commands all work from that screen, DIR COPY ATTRIB XCOPY etc

You're at the command prompt. No one can help you with what to type at the
command prompt without knowing what it is you want to do

After "C:\" type:
Command
Then press the [Enter] or [Return] key

Then after "C:\" type:
Command /?
Then press [Enter] to see why and what happened.

Then after "C:\" type:
Exit
Then press [Enter]

Then, if you want, after "C:\" type:
Exit
Then press [Enter].
