The /r part of For is NT specific. Not in Dos/9.x's For. Type For in Help.

SndRec32 /play /close has been around since 95 at least.

Start again has slight differences from 9.x. Especially the empty quotes (big trap for 9x people on NT). Type Start in help. I need start to stop all the wave files playing at the same time which makes the computer very slow. Unlike 9x Start is an internal command rather than a external command (ie program) in NT based systems.
