It also mentions external commands that are separate programs outside of COMMAND.COM and provides some examples. The document then describes two lab problems - the first involves creating directories and files, copying and renaming files. The second involves additional file operations like copying, renaming, deleting files and directories, combining files, and displaying file contents and help information.
