 Name

    help - provide online information about the MS-DOS version 5.0 commands

 Syntax


    help [command]


 Parameter


    command       Specifies the name of the command about which you want in-
                  formation. If you do not specify a command name, the help
                  command lists and briefly describes every command provided
                  with MS-DOS version 5.0.


 Note

    There are two ways to get online Help for a command.  You can specify the
    name of the command on the help command line, or you can type the name of
    the command and the /? switch at the command prompt.  For example, you
    can type either of the following commands to get information about the
    xcopy command:

       help xcopy

       xcopy /?


    The second command is slightly faster.
