This is indeed an illeagal command, all MS operating systems are based on internal and external commands, in Windows OS the internal commmands are written in to the kernal, on the older DOS systems they were internal to command.com, the system loader, these loaders contain the basic OS commands like REN, MD, MKDIR, DEL, ERASE and many more. These are the commands that you wont find an exe file for, they exist inside (internal) to command.com. If you drop to a DOS prompt and type "copy con file.txt" then enter, then type some text and close the file with a ctrl + z (or F6) then you will have a text file called file.txt containing the text you typed, this is a copy from your console to a text file. Many internal commands are reserved, and I am certain that MS engineers all know this, they wrote it and any computer technician worth his salt knows it too (of course that excludes most self proclaimed technicians onder the age of 30).
