cmd is the "command interpreter" for DOS functions. It is very useful for things like "broken" file names. You can see all of the functions by typing help or help|more. For the broken file name example = Say you named a file test.txt.pdf; this file would try to open with Adobe, even though it is text. You can't rename it with explorer. From cmd you would just type:
ren test.txt.pdf test.txt and hit enter

Cmd is very useful for testing and troubleshooting all sorts of computer problems. back on the days where the operating system wasn't so user friendly it was very useful. Nowdays, you can for instance find our your computer ip address. Try it
go t start/run/ enter cmd press enter
then type ipconfig/all it will show your computer ip address and other usefull information.

Windows was born in the command line, the users before only used text for work and etc. Then windows evolved into the GUI (graphical user interface) mode. Thats why people don't usually know about the command line. Try searching the net for basic command line codes..

cmd? you mean the command prompt? you wouldn't code there you would use commands. you can type help and get a list of commands. the command prompt is from the days of dos. it follows syntax and you have to learn how to use proper syntax. if you learn how to program in the debugger you can code there.
