You're path isn't set correctly. These aren't builtin commands, they're programs in the dos directory. Builtin commands are CD, DIR, and a few others. The path is an environment variables that gives an ordered list of directories which are used to find a file if no path is given. Navigate to the dos directory (if I recall correctly it's win98\commands) and all we work, just like DI. Normally PATH is set in autoexec.bat. Usually something like SET PATH c:\; c:\win98\commands Try that from the command line, substituting your win98 directory name. You might check that the commands you want are in that directory. How did you get into DOS? If you've edited autoexec.bat yourself, or if you're booting from a floppy, you have to put in the path.
