Problem

Solutions: Internal commands are loaded as part of DOS itself, and are included inside of COMMAND.COM, the primary DOS command processor. In effect, COMMAND.COM is a multifunction TSR, which contains many important commands needed to use the computer. Internal commands are generally simpler, contain fewer switches, and are used more often than external commands. Because they are "internal," they execute directly from RAM and are therefore faster than external programs, which must be loaded from disk and run through COMMAND.COM before executing. Internal DOS commands include DIR, COPY, DATE, TIME, BREAK, CLS, MKDIR (MD), RMDIR (RD), CHDIR (CD), DEL (ERASE), RENAME (REN), SET, PATH, PROMPT, EXIT, VER, VERIFY, VOL, etc.
