RE: The Expect Functionality in Windows

I don't have Vista to test with.  I think that at the command prompt you can
type Help and get a list of commands that come with your copy of Windows.
Also, at least in earlier versions like Win 2000, you could read about all
the "DOS" commands in a part of the Windows help system.  Or you can just
try 
  At -?
And see what happens.
