I may be mistaken, but as I recall when I had ME on this system for a
short time, there was no COMMAND directory and I don't believe there is
a COMMAND.COM with ME. According to what people have said in usenet, ME
dos not have any DOS Mode and I don't recall a any DOS window being
included with it. Maybe it's there somepalce and they just hid it real
well.
I know that 2000 does not have ANY DOS capability.
