What might help you is to type-"help" in a dos prompt. This lists all the dos commands. Im not sure about the things you are asking about though.

You probably misspelled it with an I instead of a U

You probably mis-typed it or something.

As for shutting down your machine there is a prog called shutdown.exe which is available on the Win2k Resource Kit. I believe there's also a shareware file that does the same floating around somewhere. I think it can do both shutdown and restart, but I'm not sure on this.
