In fact, if you create a file named TOLIST.BAT and put it in a directory in your PATH consisting of the following one line: @command /c %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 | list /s you can have the output of any command with fewer than 10 parameters that uses ordinary DOS screen services (not direct screen writes) sent to list. (DOS 3.3 or higher assumed.) I am lazy; I abbreviate this using CED as 2l. -- Eric Jablow {allegra,philabs,cmcl2}!hombre\ Big Electric Cat Public Unix {bellcore,cmcl2}!cucard!dasys1!ejablow New York, NY, USA New address: eric%sbmath@sbee.sunysb.edu.
