What makes you think you are running the MS-DOS 'DIR' command?

A 'DOS box' is actually no such thing. It's a Win32 console and you are
running the Win32 application 'cmd.exe'. It's just that this recognises
DOS applications when you ask it to run them and it creates a VDM for
them to run inside then performs the neccessary magic to integrate this
into the user console 'experience' almost seamlessly.
