Definition: DOS is an acronym for Disk Operating System and refers to the PC operating system that existed before Windows (16 bit) or Win 32. This was known as Ms-Dos after Microsoft who wrote it.
Command line mode in Windows (accessed by clicking the Start button, then Run, then typing CMD and pressing return ) is often called Dos Mode or the Dos Console by older programmers.
DOS applications rarely use the mouse for input, instead relying upon the keyboard for input.
