Remarks

You can use FASTHELP to get online Help for a command in two ways. You can specify the name of the command on the FASTHELP command line, or you can type the name of the command and the /? switch at the command prompt. For example, you can type either of the following commands to get information about the XCOPY command:

fasthelp xcopy

xcopy /?

The second command is slightly faster.
