Comments

Ever typed in the name of a command, only to find it wasn't the one you wanted to run? The purpose of WHICH is to search the PATH and display the filename and directory of the command you specify. If it can't find the offending program, it's likely that the command is an internal one (one embedded in COMMAND.COM).
