a DOS command is a command in the DOS (Disk Operating System) interface.
In win XP, go to start>all programs>accessories>command prompt
OR, start>run>type cmd>run
in the dialogue box that appears, type any command. that's an (invalid most likely) DOS command

DOS means Disk Operating System, it is character baser operating system, right now every one uses windows,
Even in window you can type dos commands, go start, run then type command or cmd, it will take you to dos prompt,
then you can use commands like dir,date,copy, etc:

Disc operating system commands are like night and day when compared to Microsoft Wndows operating systems, and McIntosh system. It uses a symbolic language to get the computer to do what you want it to do.

dos means disk operating system
twas the days before windows when you had to type stuff rather than click pretty icons
example' dir /p ' would give you a list of files in a directory pausing when the screen was full until you hit a key

DOS is how people use to start programs on computers. Now it is there for the nerds to use and play with. GUI replaced the old DOS system.
