Excuse me but there is no DOS in any NT products, they use command line (CMD) and therefore as some commands work same as M$DOS it is an emulation.

Open command prompt window, type HELP and press enter will give you a list of acceptable commands. I f you type the command and type /? after it will give you a list of acceptable switches/parameters ie

xcopy /?
convert /?

you must be thinking of net send

Net Send (computer name) msg text

Done at the command prompt, (dos shell) of course.
