Help with DOS commands?

I am learning DOS and I need help learning these command lines.





1. Command to copy Myfile.dat from the root directory of Drive A to the \DATA folder in the C drive





2. Command to copy all data and sub folders from the A:\data folder to the C:\data folder.





3. What is the purpose of the EBD.cob file on the 98 start up disk?





I respect all of you DOS users we are spoiled by GUI and I am having a little trouble with certain commands I think I grasp the whole wild card concept so that has really been helping.

I don't know what OS your using...But


Typically


Typing HELP at a command prompt will give you the dos commands with a brief description.


HELP "command name" Will give you the switches(options) for that command.


There are also “undocumented” commands.


For
