DOS net commands

I have set up a LAN consisting of WINME and WIN95 and the
two computers have a cross-over cable connected between
NICs. File transfer and printer sharing are working
o.k.
I am getting some problems in WINME while trying out some
net commands like net view /? or net use /? or even
help /?. The message I get is "Bad command or file name".
The same commands work o.k. in WIN95. I do not see
anything wrong in the syntax.
This has started recently. While setting up the LAN I
used the commands on both computers without a hitch.

Is some command interpreter falling apart in WINME?

Please help. Thanks.
