At the very least you need to use an editor program to edit a file, such as the old MS-DOS edit. Of course if you're using windows 8 I believe they took out those old command line tools. Just google editors for DOS or Windows Command Line and you'll find something. You will of course also need a compiler such as the GNU compiler and there is a bit more work to get it to run in Windows. If you want something simple and just for fun you could always hitup the old Borland software

There is a text editor that programmers use (including me) which runs in terminal/DOS mode and has a black background as the command prompt does. It is called vi or vim for the improved one. You can get it here for most platforms http://www.vim.org/

Hi - I think that you're talking about writing Scripts using DOS commands. You can find a list of DOS commands at Wikipedia.org or just google them.
You can write Scripts using Notepad. For more on writing Scripts, just google it.
