Oh dear God, NO!

DOS is more like commandline Linux or Unix.

And as for being Micro$not... that only applies to one type,
MS-DOS which they bought the rights for from someone else.

At the time there was also IBM-DOS, and nowadays there are DrDOS,
FreeDOS and several others that have no association at all with
Micro$not!

I made some wild guesses and after doing a ppp-on I opened xterm
and typed in the command as you gave it to me, and it all worked!

But I can't read it until I can install the lynx package that I
have also just downloaded.
