doskey records the commands used after each startup and can also define macro instructions.
mem view memory usage
MSD view computer configuration
fdisk partition the hard disk
sys transfer system files
defrag defragment the hard disk
interlnk, intersvr DOS dual-machine interconnection
more pipeline

These are also the commands I commonly use.

good
defrag can not use because it will br hurt the HD

(The text has some typos, "br" should be "be". The corrected translation is)
good
defrag cannot be used because it will be hurtful to the HD

Dear all experts,

I want to save my keyboard input as a file. Type "copy con c:\test.txt" and press Enter, then I can input content. Then there will be an additional test.txt file in the root directory of drive C, and the content is exactly what I input. But I don't know how to end the input. Please give me your advice!
