Salan asked about DOS:

Salan, I always called the unmarked space fields, back in the olden
<g> times when I used DOS. The names you can see are fieldnames.

There are a number of computer terminology guides available on the
Web. A quick www.google.com search resulted in 54K hits. I'm sure
something in there is what you are looking for.

I don't know where you are located, but if you will be writing about
DOS often, you might be able to find old DOS system manuals at
yard sales or library used-book sales if those exist in your area.
If not, perhaps you could arrange a trade with someone who has
access to such things.

Best,
Lili
