After installation, it puts a Logo icon on the desktop of your computer.

The MSW Logo screen has two parts −

• A Commander window as shown in the following screenshot.

We will write commands in the command line, i.e., the text box at the bottom of the Commander Window. To execute or run these commands, press Enter or click the Execute Button. We can also write and run more than one command online at a time.

The command history will appear in the gray box. Click a line in the history to make it jump to the respective command line, then we can make changes (if required). Once this is done, press Enter or click the Execute Button.
