DOS commands ...

First, make sure the program is executable. In DOS, executable files have an .EXE or a .COM extension. If its extension is .BAT, it's a batch file, which sorta executes too.

If it has a .ZIP extension, you'll need to UnZip it before you can do anything else.

In DOS, type the DIR command and check what you have.

If it's .EXE, .COM, or .BAT, just type the first part of the file's name, leaving off the extension. Example: if the file is named SUNDAY.EXE, you'll just type SUNDAY, and your system will know what to do.
