how do i program it though, what is it called.

i think that DOS programs are the coolest ever. :p

Are you sure you don't mean console programs? Console programs will run in a DOS prompt. If you have taken a basic C/C++ class or Java you probably wrote programs that run in a terminal window.

hate to break it to ya but Dos hasn't been around since Pre-Win2k (when talking about it coexisting with windows, that is)... now all ya got is a "dos shell" which isn't Dos at all, just somethin they made to look like you're still in it. But you can still make dos-like console apps with it...

If you want a real console, get Linux...

[dclamp]

Nobody actually listed anything for you, so though its marked RESOLVED thought I would add input.

You can make DOS Style programs using:

QBasic
TurboPascal
C/C++
Java?
And others I am not aware of.

I would suggest getting a beginner book on C and starting there since all the programs will be DOS (Console).
