Damn...and that is why I rarely post questions here....sad.
If the "manual" was a cohesive, comprehensive document that I could curl up
with and read until my eyes bleed that would ALWAYS be the correct thing to
do. Instead you have to read a FAQ, some documentation, archives, yada,
yada, yada.
BTW...I am not bashing the documentors or anything, just sick of seeing the
RTFM response.

DOS as in "Disk Operating System" (the "OS" of the pre-windows era, when
Bill Gates so rightly told us that "640 KB should be enough for anyone") -
impossible.
DOS as in a "DOS box" under Windows (i.e. the system shell, kinda) - just
run the darn thing. If your bin directory is in the PATH, just type
"bash".
That, and RTFM.
