I don't see any use of learning DOS commands as DOS is 100% deprecated by now (no use).

However I see a value in learning POSIX commands that are used in Linux, Unix type operating systems. See following articles if you are interested.
Linux Basic Commands
List of POSIX Commands (Linux, Unix command set)
List of all Linux Commands

However since your interest is in to DOS at the moment, I would like to let you have some notes about it.

See following articles.
List of DOS commands - This has some brief notes about usage of each command

An A-Z Index of the Windows XP command line

Command-line reference A-Z in Windows XP (Microsoft site)

Download DOS command reference (PDF)

It is good to learn the theory of Operating Systems. See also How Operating Systems Work.

After you learn the basics in Operating Systems, you can jump to an excellent programming language like C# or C++ straight away. (No need to learn DOS commands at all). ;)

I am Learning C++ with your Tutorial you gave me and I've Printed it :) And I learn it in my free time.

Do I have to learn about OSes before learn C++ ?
Because I didn't learn about them i started straight ahead learning C++

Thanks

Don't worry. Just learn C++ for now. No one can't learn everything at ones. You can come to OSs later. There is a branch in programming called System Programming. this is about writing Operating Systems. You can learn all these things one after the other.
