That error is from the Python interpreter, not MS-DOS (by which I
assume you mean the Windows command prompt; nobody seriously uses
MS-DOS any more).

That depends on what it is you're trying to do. If you're actually
trying to run some program called 'strings' from the command prompt
then you'll need to exit the Python interpreter first (or open a
second command prompt window).
