Paul,

I didn't know She was Italian, thanks.

PQ>Yep, you got it right.  BTW, when I wrote a nodelist search BATch file for

Redirection, Yep! I played with it a little bit.

But I learned NOT to use the < sign, I tried using it with a File Name
and the Find command (or maybe it was the Sort command) and the results
wasn't what I expected because I had the wrong 'sign' in the 'wrong'
place.

I still use the > sign and >> sign sometimes.

I will use the Pipe | sometimes with MORE.

That's as much as I am comfortable doing with the Redirection command.

When I got started using MS-DOS 5.0 there was a command called Recover
that would really mess up any disk it was used on if a Path Name was
given when using it.

I put it on a Floppy disk for safe keeping and Deleted it from the
C:\DOS directory so I wouldn't use by mistake.

I looked to see if IBM PC-DOS 7.0 had added it back but I didn't see it
there.   Good!
