Which of the following applies to external DOS commands?

  • A.External commands reside in RAM until called
  • B.External commands are stored on disk separately from COMMAND.COM
  • C.External commands must always be used with the /e switch
  • D.External commands can only be executed from a batch file.
  • E.None of the above

Answer: B

Correct answer: External commands are stored on disk separately from COMMAND.COM

External commands are separate program files - FORMAT.COM, XCOPY.EXE and the rest - which DOS must find on disk and load before running. Internal commands are built into COMMAND.COM and are therefore always available; the external ones are unavailable if the file is missing or not on the path.
