RD (RMDIR)
The RD command removes a subdirectory from a root directory or of a subdirectory.
This command can only be used to delete directories, and cannot be used to delete files,
even if they are inside the directory to be removed. Conversely, the DEL command
cannot delete directories; only the files they contain. If a drive is specified, then the
directory on the specified drive is removed. Otherwise, the default drive is assumed.
Syntax: RD [drive:]path
REM
The REM command provides a simple way of entering a free-form comment in a batch
file. The line starting with REM has no effect on the execution of the batch file.
Syntax: REM any comment
REBOOT
The REBOOT command will reset the terminal.
Syntax: REBOOT
REN
The REN command renames a file or group of files. Files cannot be moved in the
directory structure with this command; instead, only their filenames are altered within the
directory in which they reside. Wildcards may be used in the second pathname to
indicate that the characters in that component of the first filename are to be kept as-is.
Syntax: REN [drive:][path]filespec filespec
SHIFT
The SHIFT command allows access to multiple batch file arguments. The command
shifts the contents of the 9 batch file arguments so that %2 is copies into %1, %3 is
copies into %2 and so on.
