Another thing with XP and/or Windows 2000 is that the term "console prompt" 
or "command prompt" is used instead of MS-DOS.  On the command level, 
they're the same.  You won't notice much of a difference, and you can even 
change the fonts, font sizes, and more.
But it's not a true MS-DOS mode.

I just wanted to mention this so people won't think that Windows XP doesn't 
have a MS-DOS-type environment.  It does, and you can call up as many as 
you want in their own window.
