Reply To: OCU C)OST A Discussion Lesson 02
The purpose of command lines is that it creates a shortcut so that the user is able to quickly do certain tasks without having to navigate the computer. There are a number of different basic command lines that can be used, and each has a specific purpose. The first of the basic command lines is “help” which is used when the user needs a full description and list of all of the commands. When “help commandname” is used then the description of that specific command that was entered is pulled up. The third is “command/?”, when this command line is used it shows the user what options and or guidelines that can come with that particular command. Another basic command is “cls”. This command is a way to be able to completely clear the window. Finally, another basic command is “exit”, which is simply a way to leave the window. These are some of the basic commands while there are many different ones across different operating systems. (Mile 2).
