What does it do?

(The Command Prompt)

Firestar · « **Reply #51 on:** March 01, 2010, 23:17:03 »

Oh, it's basically a command line emulator for the Windows GUI. Basically, it allows you to execute commands to preform various actions such as copying a file, you just do it with code. Computers of the old days used to be like the command prompt, except that was it. There was no cursor or start menu. Now it's mainly used for preforming special advanced tasks.

Oh I see

OK thanks

Firestar · « **Reply #53 on:** March 01, 2010, 23:31:00 »

No problem.

Oh dear..this forum has been quiet for a few hours..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #54 on:** March 01, 2010, 23:31:21 »

It has indeed...

Firestar · « **Reply #55 on:** March 01, 2010, 23:34:38 »

The others are going to have quite a few posts to catch up on.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #56 on:** March 01, 2010, 23:35:39 »

They will indeed... lets hope they are fast enough...

Have no mercy, TFM. Don't hold back. Let everything you need to say pour out.

That's a cool computer mouse. It's a hand. I wonder if those are real hairs?

My father got me this new wireless mouse for my netbook since the other mouse I used before called quits and hasn't worked since.

Top left button

So begins the catching up process.

That key is used instead of the Tilde key in games to open the developer module e.t.c.

Wow!

Though of course I am not on my computer, so I will have to try it again when I get back

Â¦

Wow it works on that one too!

Thanks McGherkin

Not on my computer, I can assure you.

If I ever found that were still possible on my computer, I would buy a new one.

EDIT: Argghhh... Time for a new computer... Before I have to pay for it in Euros (unless Greece helps the world by bankrupting the Euro (stands by for hate mail) )

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #63 on:** March 02, 2010, 17:13:08 »

Wow it works on my one too!

It does have a Euro sign on the 4 as well - how did I miss that

I have a German (QWERTZ) keyboard, but I have it configured as a UK keyboard so that no matter what the key actually says the output is what it should be if I hadn't been so daft as to buy a laptop in Germany.

Wow, my American keyboard is called "QWERTY" keyboard. Try typing QWERTY. It's very easy and even fun..

saltydog · « **Reply #68 on:** March 05, 2010, 10:24:42 »

Avoiding this was the basis of the QWERTY layout..
