This is a Command Prompt running under Windows? Or, a native DOS Command prompt?

If it is the latter, you are in DOS. I don't see how you can run a Windows app.

If it is the former, you can run as follows:

Start Winword
Start Iexplore www.yahoo.com

This assumes that the programs are in the PATH, otherwise you will need to include the fully qualified filename.
