### <center><div class="phishy">Command Prompt</div></center>
CMD (Command Prompt) is a system software, the command-line interpreter available in Windows operating systems; Windows NT-based operating system which includes Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000, as well as Windows Server 2012, 2008, and 2003.

The Windows command contains the **internal** and **external**  commands, the internal commands can be gotten by entering **help** in the Command Prompt(CMD) interface.

Windows commands can be written as a script which is actually called **Batch File**, Files saved in .bat or .com extension is Batch Files.
> Most of those commands automate tasks via scripts and batch files, perform advanced administrative functions, and troubleshoot or solve certain kinds of Windows issues. [source](https://www.lifewire.com/command-prompt-2625840)

**Power Shell** is another command-line interface and it's more powerful than the command prompt, it may replace the command prompt soon.

Nice piece buddy.
>To Stop running command; press the Ctrl key with C

Will this work on all the Windows version or just the Windows 10? 
What about the _CTRL + Pause/Break_ combo? Can it also be used to terminate a command?
