There are several replacement Command files available that give extra
functions to the command line user. My favorite is 4OS2. There is also a
4DOS and 4NT so you have a familiar set of commands in all three OSs.

Paul's right if by CMD you're talking about file extensions.
If you're talking about a particular file, CMD.EXE is the default
command-line
shell for OS/2. That is, it's the program that responds when (and if ;-) )
you type in commands at the command-line prompt. In fact it provides the
the user prompt when in text mode.
It is approximately the OS/2 equivalent of the DOS COMMAND.COM program.
Typing in 'cmd' at the command line will invoke another instance
of this program (for whatever reasons). Some of the commands you
can execute at the command-line prompt are built into CMD.EXE (internal
commands), others are in their own files and brought into core memory
and control is transferred over to them till they complete execution
(external commands).
You can look up details in the online help in the Information folder/
command reference folder.
