   Thanks for your help.   
      
   I have a German languaged Windows Vista but cannot find something what   
   represents "command line a-z", not the possible translations and not even   
   something with "a-z" alone. There are a few topics for the translated topic   
   'command line', but none of them has something like a list of commands, and   
   even the search for the translation of 'reference' does return anything.   
      
   Addionally the help & support center dialog here does not have any menu   
   item, button, hotspot, or any other function to store a found answer in a   
   favourites list. *If* a good answer could be found at all.   
      
   But on the other side searching for different translations for command line   
   parameter I found at last something other I have serached for a long time:   
   the task manager's column headers meaning. Don't know what's the correlation   
   with command line but it's good to read it (and to copy & paste it since   
   there's no chance to remember otherwise).   
      
   Maybe I should now search for other incoherent terms to find the full   
   command list some day?  :-)   
      
   Sorry for my frustration. That's why I rarely use Microsoft's "help"   
   systems - mostly they don't provide a reasonable information.   
      
   Nevertheless, I appreciated your help, thank you very much, and I stay   
   searching....
