This is obviously some kind of hacking attempt, it's the second I've seen in two days of running my server.
I don't know much about hacking, but I can see them trying to access the command function and the C: root.
I'm running Zonealarm Pro and I have Abyss limited to TCP port 80 traffic only.
How can I determine what success these commands might have had?
Is there anything I need to do?
Is there any hazard in continuing to run this server?

PS - I'm legally blind, but choosing the "large font" option at the top of this message still leaves me with a tiny, tiny, tiny font to enter the message with. I assume that option applies to how the font will appear once the message is entered, but why have the option if you still can't see what you're typing originally? Just a thought from the visually impaired to the developer.

You should configure your browser to ignore font settings. Assuming you have Internet explorer, choose the Tools menu, then Internet Options, General, Accessibility, then check "Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages" and validate.
Next choose a large font in interbet explorer and all should be ok.
