The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who haven't got it.

Well CMD.exe is used to execute commands like
echo Hello!
which displays "Hello!"
You can also make small programs, like this simple loop:
@echo off
:a
echo Hello!
goto a

This is used to write text to a file:
@echo off
title Text to File
echo Hello! >>> hello.txt
echo Done!
pause
exit

For a full list of commands, go to CMD.exe and type in
help
.
You should see a list of commands.
to exit, type
exit

More useful command are:
cls

taskkill "program.exe"

And
telnet
.
To see the current time, type
time /t

If you type
time
, you have to change the time.
