i would guess there are to many to list , this site in the link says there are 280 of them ,and it would be a different number with each version of windows

What operating system are you referring to? There are slight differences and the list of commands will also slightly vary.

I am using Windows 7. I visit that link but there is also 'help' command mentioned for that purpose. I have tried it but it does not work may be due to some syntax error.

In Windows 7, open a command prompt, simply type 'help' and hit enter. This will provide you with a list of commands.

I have tried it but it doesn't work and this message was displayed:
"'help' is not recognized as an internal or external help command, operable program or batch file"

try right click on the command icon and choose run as admin , and try, help

hmm..
When you open a command prompt, try this...
type 'set' hit enter. Scroll up if needed, look for the entry called "path". It should contain a listing of directory entries. You should have at least, c:\windows;c:\windows\system32;
If you don't that would explain why you are getting the "not recognized" message.

I have tried it but I have same list of directory entries as you mentioned. I will try 'help' command in my university lab. Maybe it work.
