wine users - Dec 2011 - MS-DOS Batch File Commands

I'm trying to get the AndroidSDK going under Wine. There are problems
with the MS-DOS commands (for example, the /D option with the 'For'
command and the use of options to apply to the Path environment varaible
(to prevent space being used as a delimiter between path folders) it
uses in the supplied batch files it calls from a supplied .exe file. 

I presume that the cmd.exe (in Wine's Windows32) folder is the program
used to run MS-DOS batch files. Could anyone point me to a definitive list
of commands and their parameters that Wine's MS-DOS uses & which work
for batch files?

'for' support is incomplete/buggy in current wine

You can run 'wine cmd' then 'help' or 'help
<command>' to see a list
of commands. The documentation may be lacking, though.

For a list of builtin commands supported, you'd have to look at the
source, e.g. from
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/tree/HEAD:/programs/cmd
(and run the cmd test suite).

You can find the current bug list for component 'cmd' with

Firs of all THEY ARE NOT ms-dos commands! DOS never had "for" command,
it's a Windows addition.

What you are talking about HAS NOTHING TO DO with ms-dos. That "black
screen" is a console (poor MS' implementation of real *NIX terminal). 
And commands are "batch commands". In *NIX word they are called shell
command or shell scripting.

Anyway, Wine's cmd (the program that interprets those commands) is
incomplete, as prior user said. File bug.

You right, it's been there for a long time. It's been a while since I
used DOS...

Hi, batch file is a system file and its auto execute on call or click
event...... :?
