Why doesn't the "list" command have a sort option (like the "dir" >command)? Ideally, you should just be able to pipe list into sort. I tried this under 1.3, which in WShell would just be "list | sort", but it didn't work. Sort requires both input and output files to be named; it doesn't default to stdin and stdout. Hopefully the 2.0 version does. Sorry, the version of sort I have (36.7) isn't fixed. Wouldn't work in this case anyway, as you've still got to deal with the header line. Whether "list nohead | sort" works depends on your definition of "works". >4. I installed a second floppy drive in the A3000 (an A2000 floppy drive), >and of course the eject button is not the same.
