Hello all, I find myself constantly creating usfull batch programs. The only problem is I am limited to what I know about dos. I have done about a 100 google searches for a good directory of DOS and BATCH commands, but all where pointless. I wanted to see if anyone knows a good site that not only lists all the commands you can do with batch, but also a GOOD description (not like the crappy descriptions you get by /?) of what the commands do, heck while we're at it a site that shows examples or even builds the programs for me would be nice, ok ok, i won't get carried away. :p
