i've got some doubts...
what is the difference between CMD.exe and COMMAND.com ?
is there any limitation that COMMAND can do, and CMD cannot do?
which one is more preferable for working...?
in CMD u can press up arrow key to get the previous typed command, but not in COMMAND. can i get it in COMMAND by any means?
cmd.exe is COMMAND.COM's successor on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 and OS/2. COMMAND.COM is also available on those systems to provide compatibility when running DOS applications. On NT systems, COMMAND.COM is run within the Virtual DOS Machine.
According to this link.

Typing the command doskey worked in later versions of DOS and is supposed to work but I have just done a test on this XP machine and it does not work.
command is a psuedo-win9x dos prompt
cmd is the NT prompt
thank u people for ur kind replies...

i hav to mainly use COMMAND to handle registries,... and its very disgusting to type 2-2 lines commands again, if u do a spelling mistake,... :(
btw thanx denis
lets see if there's any other way...
Why not use CMD, unless you are on win98 in which case I am sure doskey works.
