The question I've latently had for decades: "what's the difference between .COM and .EXE", is answered by this article. Great reading too, brings back some good memories about MS-DOS tinkering. customizing the prompt (prompt $p$g), fdisk /mbr, sys command that sets up boot files (msdos.sys io.sys and command.com).

And oh the time I have spent to write menu entries in autoexec.bat and config.sys, figuring everything out from floppy disks containing things like cdrom drivers. I wasn't much older than 10 years old back then and was so happy when someone gave me an update: MS-DOS 6.22.
