6. In DOS, what does the cls command do? ____________ ___________________

CLS is "Clear Screen" I remember that back from the BASIC days.

1. In DOS, the command Dir *.xls will display the name of what??

That would list all files ending in .xls (Excel files).

In DOS, what does the RMDIR command do what?

That would remove (delete) a directory.

Did I mention cheating is bad? That should get you started though. I won't answer them all for you.

I think this is a better place for homework questions.

I could answer most of them, but then you haven't really learnt anything have you? Study!

they expect us to know this in our heads and I don't know anywhere I could know this except here and by actualy doing it in the prompt and since I don't know what will happen I am using a folder I kept my site stuff in because I have it on their server so if something happens I could get it back like forexample I just deleted the whole stuff in my shoes folder but I don't care. When I did some of the commands it wouldn't do anything since I don't have that kind of files like excell so this is why I came here. I already did about 7 of the ones that aren't listed here so please help. :cry2:

Here you go, but study next time! :normal2:

two: directory
four: it will put the contents of filea into fileb
five: .exe .com .msi (im guessing the third one, I know .msi is a MicroSoft Installer file)
7: false
8: true
9: true
10: asterisk, also known as *
11: rename stuff
12: C:\
13: false

I agree.. you should do your homework by yourself

1) shows all files in the current directory with the .xls extension (which happens to be Excel files)
3) ReMove DIRectory
5) I can't really think of a third one right away either.. I'd say the most likely candidate would be dll's.
6) CLear Screen

The programming language doesn't really matter. The point is to learn how to break a problem down into logical pieces you can then translate into code and any language will do fine for that.
