DOES ANYONE KNOW WERE TO FIND a list of dos bacth file commands

In summary, the basic commands in a DOS batch file are echo, cd, dir, copy, and del. A comprehensive list of these commands can be found on the Microsoft Developer Network website or in the official Microsoft documentation for Windows Command Prompt. To create a batch file in DOS, open a text editor and save the desired commands with a .bat extension. Batch files in DOS are used to automate tasks and execute multiple commands in a sequence, and can still be used in modern operating systems such as Windows 10. However, some commands may have been replaced with newer alternatives and it is important to refer to updated documentation for proper usage.

no, just commands but there are like no websites that list commands

Try windows help and search for ... Command-line reference A-Z

It's more extensive than can be used with an actual DOS operating system, but I believe those DOS commands would be a subset of what help shows.
