I seem to be using programs that require Command Line Interface commands.

Does anybody know a good book or web site that explains the best way to
learn this?

Thank you.

Ah, the command line. Simple, elegant, fast, compact, and keeps your typing
skills sharp. Actually, there are no real "rules" to using command line
parameters with these programs. A good understanding of DOS and the DOS
command line interface is helpful, so you'll have to look for books on DOS,
but I warn you, there is little of this in print anymore. Learning how to
use programs with the command line interface is a matter of each individual
program. When I write programs with command line options, I like to use the
"/x" switch format, many others like to use the "-x" switch format. Learning
one will not help you with the other. Options will vary with program
function.
Hope this helps

And sometimes with /? switch (dos command ex.)
